Butches Forge Railroad Spike Tomahawk

[AnthonySlipp]

Look at what showed up in the mail yesterday! This is the very first 'Hawk I have ever owned and it will most certainly not be the last. This particular example is hand forged from a railroad spike by Robert Silver of Shelby, NC. The quality of work, fit, and overall finish is outstanding. It's beautiful in a way that only something handmade can be.

You sir have a remarkable skill. Did you fashion those covers as well? I always love the way that patterning on the leather looks.

I know I'm addicted to tomahawks as I feel the need to own at least one of everything, but preferably 5...

That is nice! I'd seen knives forged from rail-road spikes before. Never imagined anyone could make a tomahawk head from one. Impressive. Wish I could craft things.

It looks like the kind of hawk that would come alive in the hand. Great looking tomahawk.

Thanks again guys,these are very light,an unaltered new rr spike weighs a little less than 13 ozs.,so they are easy to move aroundRegards Butch

Thanks very much Mister Silver. I haven't the slightest how to post pictures, but here is a Flickr set I did of the 'Hawk. I want you to know that I take great delight in owning this piece and show it off every chance I get.

Thanks again,
Anthony.
