I visited the maker of this piece of work, and it is solid. Two soldiers made the comment that they thought that is was too light. Felt fine to me. First Custom hawk that I have held.

Would like ICCknives to show the capabilities of the hawk in the website. I did not get to "throw the thing around." I am new at the forum, and I hvae met several makers now.

Regardless of my "greenhorn" staus, take a look at this one. It is worth the "type and click" I think.

Got a link or a photo? I'm seeing neither in your post ...nor any hawks on the ICCknives website.
 
If you sill take a second and click on several of the knife links, you will find the hawk. ICC'S page is a little "out of whack" and I am trying to help them get it together. Worth the time to search the site.

Spoken to a couple of Vets on the forum, and they have given me a little info on how to make ICC's page easier to read. I know the maker. He was the only maker kind enough to show me his shop after may father's death and I was looking for some guidance.

Give the site a little time to "rehab" - in the mean time, click around a little and you will find the hawk. Worth the ten seconds to find the hawk.

It has a different blade material, different stock thickness, different heat treatment, different point design, different handle. The only real similarity is that the head shape is similar, which is a very common axe pattern, Estwing uses is for example.

Huh? Check the thread. Do you see where the poster posted a thumbnail and a link to the site's 'eagle' page after my post asking for one, and before my comment on it's looks?
Well, one can safely assume that I followed the link and looked at the hawk in question.

I own a few Estwing axes, and the construction/looks are nothing like Estwing.

Now, they may have changed a few things around, and made the shape a little blockier ...but they sure didn't choose an original name ...nor, IMHO, come up with an 'original' product. I didn't see a price on it either.
