thanks-tweaked the profile a little from the previous batch. last ones the spike was too long, and interfered with technique (and shirt sleeves).

That looks thick! Why not add a fillet on the neck? A sweet piece of compact hawk.

The haft tapers from 3/8" at the head to a little under 3/16 at the butt- it weighs in at about 26 oz.

26Oz is a good weight. I really like the copper look to it.
