My Z-Day Contingency Set: Cold Steel Pipe Hawk and Farrier File.

Before dye:

After Dye & a change of scenery.

Glory shot of the hawk. Pretty sure most of you on the forum can spot EXACTLY what I did to her. Not completely finished, but after 15 minutes with a stone, I was able to chop through a good bit of firewood over a 4 day period.

May be against forum rules, but here's one of the knife anyway.

I swear, the sheath looks a lot better in person

Are you standing on your bed?!

Nice looking set you've got there though. Did you do the leatherwork yourself?

 

[DayGlo_Koolaid]

... Yes, I did the leatherworking myself. Haven't messed with the stuff in a while, but I'd say it gets the job done.

Nice! I really like the whole set.

I like it! What do you call that stitch?

Oh, that? It's just my double-whip through-the-barrel three-quarters hitch with an alternating fishtail weave.

Nice setup. Your leather work looks great. I really like that Tomahawk wrap and blade cover.

Cool set. Please add pics to the Hawk and Knife Combo thread at around page 3.
