Traditional to Tactical traces the evolution of the tomahawk as
a tactical weapon. Though author David Grant examines historical and
traditional designs, his primary focus is on the tactical tomahawks
of today. He uses his firsthand knowledge of hawks to analyze the
contributions of tactical pioneer Peter LaGana, creator of the legendary
Vietnam Tomahawk, as well as those of the best modern masters, including
Wally Hayes, J. Neilson, Daniel Winkler and Kevin McClung, among others.
Dozens of photographs
