The Cold Steel CS90N Norse Hawk delivers authentic Viking-era design with modern metallurgy for serious tactical applications and historical recreation. This 4.5-inch tomahawk combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary steel technology to create a versatile cutting tool that excels in both utility and combat scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Unlike decorative replicas, the CS90N features a differentially hardened 1055 carbon steel head that maintains a sharp edge while absorbing impact stress. The blade geometry follows authentic Norse patterns, providing superior penetration and chopping efficiency compared to modern hatchet designs. Cold Steel's heat treatment process creates a Rockwell hardness of 50-55 HRC at the edge, transitioning to a softer spine for impact resistance.Key Features
