Hi fellows ,
Another spike hawk . i forged it from a 1 inch coil spring from a quarry .
a bit of engraving and brass inlay .
I carved the French Fleur de lis on the blade .

Handle is spotted gum dyed with apple cyder vinegar mix ,
copper wrap , copper jingle cones with dear fur and wrap , beads and feathers .
and leather thrills.

I decided to make a one piece cover , used vege tanned leather with snake skin inlay with buffalo horn closer .
hope you like thank you .

good lord!
that's phenomenal.
unlike the Cpl, I don't think it's too pretty to use, but I'd have to have an incredibly good reason...
