In fact, sometimes I will even repurpose things that *were* thrown away by others. Some time ago, I bought some tomahawks from a catalog for throwing. The handles were pretty cheaply made, and were not exactly the finest craftsmanship available, which was probably reflected by the price I paid as well. ### Anyway, what options did I have when the handle broke off of one? https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg I could have just trashed the whole thing, but instead I decided to see if it would still work. Throwing tomahawks is pretty awesome, so I didn’t want to give up on the potential awesomeness of this, even though it was broken. Could I just throw the head of the tomahawk without a handle? Well, there is only one way to find out. https://s24.postimg.org/dftmvsq2t/IMG_7812.jpg To start, I made sure to put a sharp edge on the blade. With would increase the chances of this tomahawk head being awesome. ------------- https://s23.postimg.org/qd7wfyecr/IMG_7836.jpg Next, I had to make a target. A few short cedar logs did the trick. --------------- ## What happened next was indeed awesome! https://s29.postimg.org/tbjnyt20n/IMG_7838.jpg https://s1.postimg.org/tqagimc1b/IMG_7840.jpg https://s1.postimg.org/uojmkver3/IMG_7868.jpg ------------------- ### An Awesome Video! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7A7fmbJH2c0 https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg https://s10.postimg.org/5ijxiz3qx/IMG_7853.jpg Time and time again, I would miss… but then time and time again I figured out how to throw it! I even almost hit the bullseye. https://s18.postimg.org/md6qa09dl/IMG_7854.jpg https://s22.postimg.org/bo6ek82z5/IMG_7852.jpg https://s10.postimg.org/hte6kgk21/IMG_7849.jpg ---------------------- # MY POCKET *PROTECTOR* https://s18.postimg.org/tzdt3gzbt/IMG_7872.jpg Now, I have an excellent throwing weapon that I can carry in my pocket. There is no long, bulky handle to deal with, and the remaining head fits well into my jacket pocket or a rear pocket of my jeans. ----------------- ### Another Awesome Video! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7FhQrVfi9dM I know that these days there is not a high demand for being able to defend yourself by throwing tomahawk heads, but, it’s still nice to have that potential, just to be a little more awesome. https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg ## As always, I’m @papa-pepper and *here’s the proof:* https://s7.postimg.org/tycqn63rf/IMG_7834.jpg -------------------- ## STEEMIT LIKE YOU MEAN IT! ------------- https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmWJLBUEQKrsCFYNSpzTSiRPbR8AT45ZpwbjgCX5ucQaDN/image.png ### [TO TRANSLATE POSTS VIA OPERATION TRANSLATION CLICK HERE](https://steemit.com/translation/@papa-pepper/operation-translation-now-under-construction-what-it-is-and-how-you-can-help)
