An ancient weapon-Tomahawk

Generally speaking, the tomahawk is much lighter than the current chopping axe, and even the heavy tomahawk is much lighter than the hammer axe. This is because the main target of tomahawk is the limbs of enemy personnel or mounts rather than heavy wood and stones, so traditionally tomahawk will have a relatively thin blade.

This can cause a large area of deep wounds to the enemy. Tomahawk, as a short weapon, can enter the combat state more simply and quickly.
