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 .
Chris

Really like the contrast between the copper, leather and high polish on the hawk head!!! It's amazing!

and I just searched the thread you mentioned earlier, and that one is equally amazing.

Here it is for anyone else who hasn't seen it:
Pipe Hawk
 
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...
