Holy crap, I'm salivating over here! That looks even better than it did when I saw it in my dreams last night! I can't wait to get this baby in my hands, it looks exactly to the specs I sent you. You are a true master of your craft JK!
To all: the handle design most certainly was heavily inspired by winkler. I don't know how the knife game works, but i never intended it to be an exact copy and mean the man no disrespect - I took some qualities I liked from at least half a dozen hawks, but yes D. Winkler had a heavy inspiration in this. I will not deny that and would like to give credit to the man. All of the other aspects of the hawk were tweaked and "designed" (if I can even use that term in the knife making world as a non maker) by me! Jk has been kind enough to bring it to life for me!
