I got one more hawk in the mail to show you, this is of course one of Kentucky's(Wolf Creek Forge) Rasp hawks, and let me just say now pictures do not do this hawk proper justice.
Just a beautiful hawk, it's made from a farrier's rasp with a high carbon file bit I believe is what Lisa told me in the email.
The only complaint I could possibly have about this hawk is how nice the handle is, I don't know if I can kick myself to rehaft it to be a user; I might just have to hang it on the wall.

That pretty haft will always be laying around if you need or want it. Use, thats what they are for. Ive used one just about like yours for my personal hawk a long while. Just glad you like it :thumbup: Yes, it does a piece of olf file steel welded in for the bit. We like to do that for a couple of reasons. First it gives you more material to work with, lets you get a wider cutting edge when upsetting the blade after its welded. Second, you know for dead certain what the cutting bit is made from..I think the yours is about equal to 1095 or w-1..
