Hanwei Museum Inspired Pipe Hawk – Fully Functional

The Pipe Hawk (XH2119) by Paul Chen is a faithful reproduction of a historical artifact that harkens back to the era of trade between French fur trappers and American Indians. This unique tool serves a dual purpose, functioning both as a hatchet and a pipe. Crafted with a steel blade, bowl, and mouthpiece, it captures the essence of the original piece. 

Just like its predecessor, the Pipe Hawk features a concealed reaming pin at the end of the shaft, allowing for easy clearing of the smoke passage. With its combination of practicality and cultural significance, the Pipe Hawk offers a glimpse into the intriguing history of trade and interaction between different communities during that era.
