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. It is still in use today, primarily by special operations groups, or by any outdoorsman, as it is both a useful tool and weapon.
The tomahawk 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.
During the American Revolutionary War, the Mohawk Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton used various tomahawks in combat, particularly favoring one with a head resembling the Assassin insignia. He would often dual-wield the tomahawk alongside his Hidden Blade.
