I am making a tomahawk for camping trips. It's made from a piece of 1/4" roll forged ballistic armor for a hummer. It's been laser cut to a plains Indian style blade with a 16" handle. Its constructed like a full tang knife with two oak round slabs an the sides held by 10 brass rivets. It is almost finished and only needs heat treated and powder-coated mate black. I have gotten a few people that seen it and want one but I have no idea what something like this is worth. It's high-tech and custom in every way, all the way down to the material used. I've seen some tomahawks on eBay going for $250 and they were made from a hammer. So mine has got to be better than that. (Bladesmith's comment much welcome.)
It might be a great piece of work, but I don't really think that it would go for much more of the other tomahawks. usually high quality blades are expensive for two reasons:
1: They are high quality
2: They are made by a renowned blade smith and everyone knows that his work is high quality.
If you start making these regularly and build a following for yourself you should be able to charge much more down the road, but for now I don't think you will be able to get much more that the current market price of $250.
