Who else carries a 'hawk in ML season?

Next Friday our PA flintlock deer season opens. I received a "throwing" tomahawk for my birthday and like it very much. I made a belt sheath for it and will carry it afield. Yes, I know, real Longhunters just shove a 'hawk into their belt, but this one has a keen edge that mandates a sheath.

The November issue of "Muzzle Blasts" magazine has a good article on tomahawks. As most folks may know, many 'hawks were also pipes with a bowl opposite the sharp edge of the blade; hence, the name "pipe axes." Well, mine is not a pipe axe.

I have crossed over pretty much with flinter rifle, patched roundballs, powder horn, beaded possibles bag and 'hawk for my treks afield. Who else carries a 'hawk?

Adam
