Breaking in my new Kentucky/Wolf Creek Forge Hawk

[keyser223]

I picked up the bearded hawk Kentucky had posted pics of and got to take it out for awhile today. Here is a link to his thread and the original pics. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/884295-A-couple-of-hawks....pics

Anyway, this mulberry had been cut down earlier in the summer and I decided to see how the hawk would do. I wish I had taken a before picture of the hawk and tree, but I had already taken off most of the smaller branches with it before going to get the camera.

With the completed pile

No worse for wear

I am really impressed with this hawk,it's light and it cuts deep and fast. Thanks Kentucky!

I really like the broad blade on that hawk. What's that on the handle, leather?

It is/was rubber mastic tape I put on there when it first came. It did help absorb vibration and kept it from twisting, but was pretty much destroyed in the end.
