Bob is a fine knife maker/smith. It is a pleasure to see his talent continue to grow. He also is a pleasure to deal with. He has surrmounted some difficult times and continues to progress.

Be well

Great hawk as usual:thumbup: I really like the file work. I've also noticed that you sometimes brown your hawk heads, How do you do that thanks for the peek..

Plum brown barrel finish, you can find it at most gun shops, brownells or most knife maker supplies.
