Hawk Sold

[G L Drew]

I haven't made hawks in a couple of years but found this in the bottom of a drawer that I seldom use. I need to clean my shop more often.
Unknown steel from a ball peen hammer but I did an edge quench leaving the body to cool slowly. The best that I can determine with Rockwell test files is the edge somewhere around Rc 60 so this can't be sharpened this with a file, it will need a stone.
The haft is 16 1/2 inches long from curly maple that I dyed and treated with oil
Head measures 7 inches from edge to the end of the spike
Cutting edge is about 2 1/2 inches
A simple leather edge guard with ties

That curly maple looks really cool to me whatever you used to treat it. Actually, the whole shooting match is fine looking. Keep searching the shop; no telling what neat stuff you'll find.

Really pretty, and yes, we have been enjoying you finding things to finish and we get to buy.

Awesome! I remember when you were making these and they went like hot cakes, unfortunately I didn't jump on one. Someone scored a nice fit up hawk that looks great as well, Congrats.

Thanks. I sent an email about the last one Gerry had posted here, but just missed it. So I've been waiting almost two years for this. I'd pretty much given up.
