I had one of their hawks (the full size, not the mouse hawk) once upon a time. I bought it from Museum Replicas. It was fairly heavy and had a thick edge, but chopped pretty well and threw ok. I think it was forged, but can't remember.
 
I can vouch for Fort Turner. They've got a good selection of hawk heads, and I think one or two might match up with the hawk heads listed above.
 
There forged i have one of there norse hawks not bad for the price would rather have spent a little more for a better one my problem is with there handels came warped and broke pretty easy indian wood i guess .
 
thanks for the info guys. ill look into it some more. i really like the symmetrical cutting edge and the poll is a big plus so im hoping to find something to fit that criteria.
