Additional handling charges apply.While ATC is a division of Cold Steel, Cold Steel is run by Lynn Thompson, and the ATC VTAC is made by a separate 'group' run by Andy Prisco. This means that the cutting edge and hammer face is fully hardened, while the balance is left relatively soft to absorb the shock of striking blows. These hawks are differentially heat treated. This is why most good axes, hatchets, and hammers are drop forged. The steel is kneaded and compressed into a completely homogenous mass making the grain structure uniform and minimizing gas pockets or other imperfections that can ruin the construction of a hand forged hawk.
