Does anyone have a good picture of the H&B spiked axe?.. and does anyone make any modifications like polishing the steel etc when they get a hawk.. thanks.
 
I have Will's version of the Roger's Rangers design. I plan on cleaning it up a bit this weekend. I'll try to post pics next week.
 
Hey Hoplophile dont leave me hangin... have you had a chance to take some pics yet?
 
Scott, are you looking for pics of the medieval head or the boarding axe? Modifications? HB doesnt have the edge that I like so I take a file to it, but thats it. NW
 
I was looking for the boarding axe. I was wondering what people did to the handles or if they sanded the head to make it polished etc...
 
I've got pics of both my Roger's Rangers hawk and my bearded Viking Ax ready, but can't upload them. Somebody with the right membership care to lend a hand?

ScottFM, I finally got around to taking some pictures of my H&B large spike axe/boarding axe. Here they are:

The bit is 3 1/2". Spike to edge is 10 1/2". Weight is about 2 pounds. This is not a light tomahawk. Fit is great and finish is rough, like you would expect from traditional manufacture. All in all, a really good piece. I recomend H&B highly.
 
CJL101, thanks for the pics, I went ahead and got the same hawk. It is heavy but a nice piece for the price. I havent had a chance to throw it yet, have you?
 
Magician-Thanks for the offer. Disco Stu already posted them for me. I "Back To the Top"ed it for you. Hope you like.
 
Scott, nope, I have not yet had a chance to throw it. I have used it do demolish part of a willow tree and a redwood stump in my back yard and it did wonderfully on those. :D

I am looking to get another from H&B but, I will probably call him directly to set the specs. I preffer very light spike hawks for speed and mid weight hammer polled belt axes for general use. I am looking at his sm. camp axe for the latter but I need to find out if the sm. version of the the spike axe will fit the former.
