The '''tomahawk''' was a type of one-handed axe, which was most effective when wielded in close combat. It was commonly used by Native Americans, as well as European colonists, before [[modern times]].

The tomahawk was a useful weapon, as it could be used for stealth kills, melee combat, or to perform menial tasks; such as cutting a rope or traversing [[ziplines]], in a similar manner to the [[Hookblade]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed III'' on [http://www.gametrailers.com/ GT.TV]</ref>

During the [[American Revolutionary War]], the [[Mohawk]] [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Connor Kenway]] used a tomahawk with a head resembling the [[Assassin insignia]], which he would often [[Dual-wielding|dual-wield]] alongside another weapon, such as the [[Hidden Blade]].<ref>''GameInfomer'' April 2012 issue: ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

{{-}}Connor would also use this weapon for using ziplines and boarding enemy ships.
