Things evolve.
I'd bet nobody on the forum has a guitar like this
and nobody thinks it's inauthentic to have one that looks like this, with those new-fangled metal frets and all that other nonsense
The tomahawk evolved as many devices do. The modern bow is not the same as the weapon famously used at Agincourt.
A big step in the evolution of the Tomahawk was the arrival of European traders in North America and the commencement of trade between them and the native Americans. That made iron axe heads available for use on Tomahawks - and really that's what a "tomahawk" is: an axe.
American soldiers in Afghanistan get issued with a very modern tomahawk (the "VTAC" - Vietnam Tactical Tomahawk) for use as a tool and in hand to hand combat.
