June 22, 20169 yr Nice clean work. I particularly like the knotwork details. Was that conventional hand engraving, chisel and chasing, or machine engraving? Also, did you upset the stock ends before you forged out the two blade ends, or was the 1" stock large enough to do this? Really like your double edged hawk, though I'm not exactly sure why it isn't just a double bladed hand axe (think some of them had tapered handles, didn't they)? The last question I have is with the handle wrapping. Not that you would be likely to throw this kind of presentation weapon, but having thrown some hawks I can see where a full wrap like this would get in the way of a clean release.
June 22, 20169 yr Chis another exelent piece of your work . Like the leather work on the handle . The engraving adds to the overall look . Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Hi Latticino thanks for your compliments just hammer and chisel and daylight . The stock was upset enough when i slit him and hammered him . LOL . if i wanted to make the jaw and beard bigger i would have upset the ends a bit . As for handles there so many varing different from tapered to the wedgeing . You probably right on handle wrap i havent thrown it thanks. Chris 7 hours ago, tdaleh said: Chis another exelent piece of your work . Like the leather work on the handle .
