I made this hawk for a repeat customer and member of this forum.. 1095 steel, hickory handle with sinew wraps..I will make the sheath tonight..:D
 
Sorry, beer in hand syndrome. 1095, how'd you quench it? Full or differential? Thanks.
 
I quenched the edge only. Leaving the body softer allows it to handle more abuse IMHO.. Glad that you like it.
 
Wowee, how much did you charge for that? I really really like that style!
Let me know if you make anymore of those, will you?
 
How DID you quench the edge? I'm planning on trying to heat-treat a number of too-soft 'hawks, and am interested in enough detailed input to let this complete novice do so with success.
