Robert Mayo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Here is a new pipehawk i just finished it is slit and drifted. Forged from 5/8" round twist damascus stock deep etched then all the oxides were buffed off. It is 17" from tip to tip and the head is 6" with a 1 1/2" edge the fittings are ivory. Thanks for looking and your comments. Bob Edited August 11, 2009 by mod07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_white Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The first time I ever met you and I had the chance to saw a lot of your creation and I was really speechless. Even if I am a neophyte to blacksmithing, I can see how much effort,time and experience must be put to realize such a piece. Thank you for sharing your work. the_white :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
