1.
Jacob Kuntz Rifle; the
original was built circa 1800 and is of the Allentown
School.
The Pipe Tomahawk
is a part of American history and has been made by some
of the riflesmith artisans who were active in building
the American long rifles in the18th century. Some of the
high art tomahawks were presented to the chief of a
tribe as a gesture of friendship. Possession of one of
these tomahawks became a status symbol. The British
government on occasion would commission certain
gunbuilders to make presentation tomahawks when they
were going to an important meeting or treaty with a
tribe. The inlays are done in the manner the
original builders used. No solder is used to hold the
inlays in the head of the tomahawk. The mortise for an
inlay is under-cut and a rubbing taken in the inlay, is
sawed out with a jeweler saw. The inlay is set in the
mortise, The inlay is then filed flush with the metal
surface of the tomahawk and engraved. The handle is
approximately 23 inches long, the head is just over8
inches long. The silver wire and inlays are .999 pure
silver.

5.
The
Judgment Tomahawk This is a hand
forged head. All inlays are either brass or
pure silver. The diamond shaped inlays on
the handle are Ivory. The four horsemen of
the Apocalypse are featured, representing ,
Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. If your
want the complete meaning, read the sixth
chapter of Revelation and each rider is
described in detail. The hand holding the
scale over the word "TEKEL" is found in the
book of Daniel the 5th chapter 27th verse,
meaning, "You have been weighed on the
scales and found wanting". The weeping
hearts represent the fifth wound of Jesus on
the cross when he died for our sins. The
clear path through the silver wire to the
weeping heart is from the new testament
where Jesus says "broad is the way, narrow
is the path and no one comes to the father
except through me". The fierceness of the
inlaid faces at the head represents the fact
that Jesus can be your savior now or your
judge in eternity, there is no compromise.
The reason he is in three places on the
tomahawk represents, Omni presence and the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The four horses
running toward the globe with the eagle,
which is the United States, represent the
judgment that is on it's way. This tomahawk
is made as a witness to what the world has
come to. (click to
