Some of the heads are cast in different carbon steels (8620, 6150, 4140). Please view details for these options.
8620: 20% Carbon - considered mild steel - will heat treat but not meant for heavy work. Use this steel if your tomahawk will be mostly display and very light use. Will file and engrave easily.
4140: 40% Carbon - considered a tool steel - will heat treat very well and be tough and hold an edge. Use this steel if your tomahawk will be used around the camp or on the trail. Could have some "hard spots" in the steel to make filing and engraving difficult without annealing.
6150: 50% Carbon - considered a tool steel - will heat treat very well and be tough and hold an edge. This steel can become very hard (critical) during heat treating so take extra care during the temper. Use this steel for anything. Will have some "hard spots" in the steel to make filing and engraving difficult without annealing.
