So I had some leftover 4140 moly steel laying about and thought I would make myself a tomahawk. Going for the tactical sort of look. The steel is not ideal for a blade but with a heat treat it makes for very good tool steel and I figure it will do the job just fine for a home made job. I will Duracoat it once I have it ground down and going with some micarta handles. I cut the blank out with a metal cutting band saw from a piece of 6" x 20" x 3/8" plate.
Swizz, if your interested in a blank let me know I can cut your own design if you want, it just can't be any wider than 6"
