In regards to firearms, there were rifles, fowlers, shot-guns, surplus army muskets, carbines, and even repeating arms as well as pistols or revolvers. A hatchet or ‘tomahawk’ served both as a useful tool as well as a devastating backup weapon.
Among these would be counted long-bladed ‘butcher knives’ later to be replaced by regional ‘toothpicks’ or even, the Bowie knife. The typical armaments carried in the days of the American frontier usually included some type of longarm, a pistol or two and a variety of cutting edges such as knives and hatchets. Their various design characteristics gave them an advantage in approaching the specific tasks at hand.
Firearms and edged weapons are just like any other tool.
