awesome hawk.
standard spike or HC?
also - do you round punch the eye hole or cut with hot chisel then widen?

I think this one was hc,but I can't tell a lot of difference in the edge when hardened--The eye was hot slit,very tricky with these only 5/8" square- then drifted with a reg. hawk drift-Thanks again for all your comments--Regards Butch
