I got to handle this hawk at a local hammer in last evening. It is nicer than it looks in the picture; a work of art. (I asked Butch if I could try it out by throwing it at the barn door but he wouldn't let me do it)
 
G L. you will be hammering out your own hawks as soon as you get that forge up and going. Be no more mirror polishes for you. Ha ha
