BlasterJoe Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I made this hawk out of an old single jack starter steel. I have a hand full I have came across the years in mining. With it probly being over a hundred years old I can’t be certain what the alloy is. It had a complex spark and hardened when oil quenched and drew a light straw temper. “File Skated” only time will tell how it will hold an edge. I figured that if it can cut rock it will handle wood.

BlasterJoe Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Thanks Flatliner, I took it out in the mountains the other day and chopped some fire wood. then gave it to the boys and let them put it through its paces. Did some throwing and ice chopping. it did well still holding the edge well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
