New guy needs help with old 'hawk!

OhioEd · Sep 30, 2009

I had always wanted a nice tomahawk, and had seen a guy selling these at the local gun show for a while. Always liked the looks of them and finally broke down and bought one. This was quite a number of years ago. I would say at LEAST 10 years. I was told it was all hand forged and hand made, and it is a very nicely made piece. One of the first things I did when I got it home was accidentally drop it and have to move my foot out of the way. The back spike buried its tip in the cement floor of the garage and held the 'hawk up by it. Did not damage it at all.

There is no name on it at all. The only thing I can see that might be a signature looks to me to be in the shape of a beaver pelt or the like. Thanks for any insight any can give me on this one, I would really like to find the maker and get another.

Yea it makes things easier to keep up with.

Yep, Beaver Bill. You guys hit the nail on the head.

I bought this knife not knowing a thing about it or the maker. Eventually I came across some of Mr. Keeler's work on a website and realized it was his. Beautiful hawk, Bill does some great work.
