American Tomahawk Company is a US-based company which manufactures modern tomahawks for use by the US Military. It was founded in 1966 by Peter LaGana to make tomahawks for the Vietnam War and folded in the 1970s. ATC was revived in early 2001 by Andy Prisco and LaGana shortly before LaGana's death. ATC makes tomahawks to this day, primarily for the US Army. ==History== American Tomahawk Company was founded in 1966 by Peter LaGana with the original Vietnam Tomahawk design. This original model featured a wood handle, a unique axe head with reverse spike, and a leather sheath.. LaGana manufactured 4000 Tomahawks for Soldiers and Marines for use in the jungles of Southeast Asia. In November 2000, professional knife and tomahawk throwers Andy Prisco and Bobby Branton approached LaGana and got his approval to license his design and restart the defunct firm: American Tomahawk Company in January 2001. The Company resumed production of the original design: the "Vietnam Tomahawk", replacing the original wood handle with a synthetic one. In 2005 ATC introduced the CQC-T (Close Quarters Combat Tomahawk): a collaboration with Custom Knife-maker Ernest Emerson of Emerson Knives. In 2008 a collaboration with Custom Knife-maker Shane Sibert resulted in a modern version of the Lewis and Clark spontoon tomahawk known as the "Comanche"; this tomahawk is also produced under license by Fox knives of Italy.
