Description

Two Traditions. One Icon.

Part tool.

Part ceremonial pipe.

Entirely legendary.

Inspired by original examples from the era of the North American fur trade, the Hanwei Pipe Hawk faithfully recreates one of history's most distinctive frontier implements. Used during the period of trade between French fur trappers and Native American tribes, the pipe hawk combined the practicality of a compact hatchet with the symbolism of a ceremonial smoking pipe, making it an enduring icon of early American history.

Expertly crafted by Hanwei, this impressive historical reproduction captures the authentic appearance of the originals while showcasing the renowned craftsmanship for which the brand is known.

The carbon steel head incorporates both a functional axe blade and an integrated pipe bowl, while the shaft houses a removable reaming pin, just like surviving historical examples, allowing the smoke passage to be cleared in the traditional manner. Completing the authentic design is a steel mouthpiece, faithfully reflecting the construction of the original pipe hawks.

Elegant, historically significant and beautifully made, the Pipe Hawk is an exceptional addition to any frontier, colonial or historical weapons collection.
