You have your choice of three different grades of carbon steel:
8620 steel: 20% Carbon - considered mild steel - will heat treat but not meant for heavy work. Use this steel if your tomahawk will be mostly display and very light use. Will file and engrave easily.
4140 steel: 40% Carbon - considered a tool steel - will heat treat very well and be tough and hold an edge. Use this steel if your tomahawk will be used around the camp or on the trail. Could have some "hard spots" in the steel to make filing and engraving difficult without annealing.
6150 steel: 50% Carbon - considered a tool steel - will heat treat very well and be tough and hold an edge. This steel can become very hard (critical) during heat treating so take extra care during the temper. Use this steel for anything. Will have some "hard spots" in the steel to make filing and engraving difficult without annealing.

*Note: These tomahawk heads are rough castings. This means that if you are looking for a tomahawk head for throwing or other uses then you must temper & heat treat, polish and sharpen the head yourself. If you are looking for a decorative head only, then you do not need to temper (heat treat) the head. For an in depth article on how to heat treat please go to this page.
