How To Forge a Frontier Style Tomahawk - With Bruce Evans (Available on DVD)
I had the opportunity spend a day in Bruce Evans knife shop, and I watched as he forged out a spike tomahawk from a round bar of 5160 spring steel. I was so
impressed with the process that I wanted to go back and document him as he forged out another one. This time I took my mini-dv camera with me, and as a result, I was able to produce this DVD.
