Before European explorers and fur traders arrived, only stone tools could be used for cutting and like all native Americans the Mi'kmaq would have used flint, chert and other stone blades fixed to a wooden haft.

Very soon after contact with Europeans the Mi'kmaq obtained hatchets and knives of metal. Their word for tomahawk was tmi'gn.
