The tomahawk is an axe made for combat. It has a a slightly shorter reach than the short sword, however it swings noticeably quicker. The damage rate and stamina consumption is also comparable to short swords. It typically defeats an opponent in six hits.
[NOTE] The tomahawk can't be thrown at an opponent, but can be used to chop wood.
Trivia
The Tomahawk is sometimes a preferred weapon for being a decent tool in combat but also cheaper than other mid-level weapons due to not requiring a high quality mold.
It is sometimes used by Verdentine/Hallengard supporters due to looking similar to the Hallengard battleaxe. (when made of ebony and emerald, it may be referred to as "Verdentinesque")
