This is a hawk that I really enjoy the looks of. Hawks have never really 'done it' for me, I'm more of a full fledged axe man myself. I would love to see some one here make an axe with a useful, sturdy looking pick on the back like this one.

It looks like a good hard worker, I love it :thumbup:

I like it!

IMO much better than the spikes that look like an arrowhead stuck on the poll of a 'hawk.
