RE: Cheap Knife vs Expensive Custom

the native Indians of America coveted the new metal axes of the foreign paleface settlers. The Tomahawk is actually a mass produced & traded European camp axe, of a design originating in the medieval period. It had a long projecting blade for efficient chopping and a pronounced hammer at the back for woodworking. Smaller versions were favoured by the Indians for combat. The same design is shown in medieval line drawings and paintings.

Tomahawks look a lot like the European Fransisca throwing Axes.

In so far as a tomahawk is axe shaped - Yes.. A Francisca has a more downward curving blade on the back as well as the underside and is the reason why Franks live in France and why France is called France.
See this web link about the Tomahawk -
