thats fantastic....Ive never seen a hawk made from a RR spike! I also really love the texture on the knife handle. How was that done?

Thanks for your compliments.The Handle was done by chiseling lengthwise on all 4 sides,then chiseled across in about 1/4" segments on 2 opposing corners,then twisted one full turn.Simple,but looks complicated:thumbup:Regards Butch

Never been a fan of RR spike knives, but that hawk sure looks good.

Oh my! Those are both hot, but that knife is crushing... It looks like it has enough steel in it to form a respectable planet. Great work! ©

Thanks Keith,I think most folks just like the fact that it was a rr spike,they are a little heavy in the handle dept.I have made and sold a pile of them though,one of the bread and butter things that sellI would make more of the spike hawks,but they can be so frustrating,not a lot of material to work with and not much room for errorRegards Butch
