I recently saw Last of the Mohicans on television. I was impressed by the lethality of Chingachgook's weapon, blunt and sharp, heavy and rather impressive.
Anyways, research informs me this is a gunstock tomahawk (or club) depending in the source. They oftern had an edged side, with sharpened anther or bone, or with a pointed axe head sticking out on one end.
In the movie the weapon looked more clubby, but sharp edged almost like an oddly shaped sword- and at first glance I thought it was stone. Examples:
Heres a Fiji Island version:http://www.peabody.harvard.edu/sahlins/F3841.html
And a version with a pronounced axe head: http://www.monticello.org/press/imagegallery/lewisandclark/newimages/gunstockclubth.jpg
Anyways, any ideas on how to make this an interesting weapon stat wise? Is it just a two handed club or axe? Any ideas?
