THE COMANCHE INDIAN TRIBE ORIGINATING IN THE SOUTH WEST OF THE UNITED STATES- WERE WELL KNOWN
FOR THEIR FEROCITY AND BEING VERY FORMIDABLE OPPONENTS WHO DEVELOPED STRATEGIES FOR FIGHTING
ON HORSEBACK WITH TRADITIONAL WEAPONS.

A REPORT PUBLISHED IN TACTICAL KNIVES MAGAZINE, WRITTEN BY RALPH MROZ AND PHOTOS BY JEFF RANDALL...SAID:

THESE ARE SHARP TOOLS WITH WHICH YOU COULD CHOP A BRANCH, DIG A HOLE, CUT OPEN METAL DRUMS, PRY OPEN A DOOR, OR PUNCH A LOCK..TOPS KNIVES ARE GOOD FOR TASKS LIKE THAT. TWO THAT ESPECIALLY FILL THE BILL ARE THE 'COMMANCHE HAWKE' AND THE 'DURANGO HAWKE'..

THE DEEP PRIMARY GRIND AND CURVED SWEDGE GIVE THE KNIFE A DRAMATIC APPEARANCE. THE KNIFE HAS A POINT, YET THE SHAPE OF THE BLADE IS ALMOST SHEEPS-FOOT LIKE, MAKING THIS ONE UNCOMMON-LOOKING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. THE OVERALL FEEL IS SUBSTANCE.
