How'd you get the micarta that color?
Lotion from the basket.
I don't much care for the new forums either.
But I'm sure I'll adapt.![]()
I like throwing all types of hawks, hatchets and axes. I have many more than what other people say I need, but what can I say - when I see something that looks like it might throw well, I get it to try out. If I like how they fly, I'll get a couple more to have a triplet, as competition throwing is in sets of 3. Sometimes, I run into "deals" I just can't pass up, like the batch of 6 used Norse Hawks for $10 @. 3 $5 handle replacements and I have $200+ worth of hawks for $75.
For hawks, I have --
- 11 of the Norse Hawks. 6 are set up for competition throwing (13" handles" - 3 are spare set in the event handles breaks during competition ), 3 are set up for long distance hawk throwing (22" handles) and 2 are spare heads that I got off fleabay used for $15 and are waiting for handles.
- 10 "tear drop mouse hawks"
and
- 6 "Frontier Hawk" style hawks, all made in India for a reenactment supply company that went out of business and had a sale - got all 16 heads for under $80 shipped.
- 3 additional "Frontier Hawk" style hawks, maker unknown as the prize for winning a long-distance hawk throwing competition 3 weeks ago. (66 feet 3 inches). The event prize sponsor had had them just sitting on a shelf for a couple of years and can't remember who made them. They are heavier than Cold Steel Frontier hawks.
In the hatchet world, I have --
- 4 Vaughn Lath Hatchets,
- 2 Estwing Camp Axes
- 2 Condor double bit hatchets
- 6 Marbles double bit hatchets
And for throwing axes, I have --
- 5 double bit heads on 28" cruiser axe handles. These heads range from 2.25# to 2.7#
- 3 3#+ DB heads needing competition mods before hanging
That's just my throwing ones. Then I have the user axes and my collector hatchets/axes/axe heads. Those total another 50+.
Only if you don't want it to.Will it hurt?
