just finished this up today, 2 3/8" cutting edge, 2" spike, 18" overall hickory handle. The head is forged from a 7/8" piece of coil spring, not shure what exacly, but moved like 5160. Very little clean up on the grinder, real rustic finish. The scroll work was done with a flatened 1/4 rake tooth heated with a torch, so it's a little rough. handle wraped with hemp cord and sealed with super thin supper glue.

This was my first real hawk, but it wont' be my last!

Very nice job! Interesting what one van do with even smaller diameter stock. I'm impressed with your forging.

Bruce the bug has definatly bitten, aready got a polished and fileworked pipe tomahawk planded, will have to wait for me to finish some orders first though. Shouldn't have taken the time to do this as it's for me, but I've been haveing visions of tomahawks for the last two weeks while offshore.:rolleyes:

clint c, it's not as hard as it looks, if your interested in forging a tomahawk I definatly recomend Bruce Evans' tomahawk vidio.

Thanks for the coments guys, oh yea, she trows pretty good to.:D
