tomahawk

A tomahawk is a type of axe used by Native Americans and other cultures for chopping wood or hunting. It's often depicted as a sharp blade attached to a long handle.

The word "tomahawk" has been adopted into modern language, but it's not commonly used in everyday conversation unless you're talking about history or military affairs. You might hear it mentioned in movies or documentaries that show battles between Native American tribes and European colonizers. It could also be used to describe a specific type of axe or blade that's popular among collectors or enthusiasts. If someone says they saw a tomahawk at a museum exhibit, they're probably referring to the weapon itself rather than its historical use.
