Yeah, but that will only increase his DPS by 50%.

Wouldn't he hit the hard-cap first?

Knife fights are already pretty gruesome enough, but do you realize how much more gruesome a tomahawk fight would be? There is a reason why we use guns for self defense, they are fast, powerful and you don't have to whack off chunks of your enemy's flesh with every blow in order to win.

Er, more like scalp some white devils. But okay.

Wow, knifetests.com. I started feeling bad for the blades. "Didn't break, lets try this test again..."

Personally, I think a little axe like this would be better. Light enough for 1 handed use, works best with 2 hands, and does a really nice job splitting logs.

As gruesome as it is to think about, I don't think that would make an especially good close fighting weapon, primarily because of the blade shape.

IF
- You don't scare them off because you're ape-shit insane enough to bring a tomahawk to a fight, AND
- The first hit doesn't end the fight in one way or another.

Then you could have a problem. I can see lots of scenarios where the blade gets stuck or caught on something, and then you're unarmed and in a world of hurt. Because if he's not afraid of your ape-shit-insane ass, and not deterred by you swinging that thing/hitting him, then you're probably a dead man.

I'll stick with my rifles and handguns. If that fails there's always a trout.

Ha ha ha, thanks for the input. Hmm...interesting thoughts.
Edit: My only current self defense mechanism is noxious farts and a baseball bat. So, I figured maybe a Tomahawk could be suitable.
