Words that rhyme with Tomahawk
In phonetic terms, tomahawk is a three-syllable anchor on a low-front /æ/, which shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the assonance column dwarfs the others. Lyric returns: a household-word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why tomahawk rhymes the way it does
In our engine, tomahawk registers as a three-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 4,430, and consonance 843. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With tomahawk, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
