Need help finding a co.

[Bear paw]

Hello.
I am new to this so I hope this post is in the right spot. What I'm looking for is a company that can take my idea for a new style hawk, draw it up pretty, make a closed die for it and hammer forge it. Of course I want a finished product when it is done, sharp and ready to go on my handle. Heat treated and all that, and they must be in the U.S.A! Does such a company exist ? Any help would be appreciated. Also I want the design to be mine and not for them to steal.

I would talk to Justin Gingrich of Ranger Knives. I don't know about the hammer forging but he recently built a hawk from a forumites desigmn. His work is highly thought of and he is a good guy based on my limited correspondence with him and many other peoples comments here.

www.rangerknives.com is his website and he pokes his head in here frequently, though I haven't seen anything from him in a little while.

Good Luck and I am sure I am not the only one here who would be interested in seeing your hawk design.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check him out. I sure hope I get to show my design to all interested as I intend to market it if it meets my expectations. Thanks again
