The Last Battle Tomahawk......

[Raymond Richard]

This is a hawk I've been working on over the last couple weeks. The reason for the name is mainly because I can't remember how I totally forged it. The head was hand forged from a 6" X 1" square piece of 1084/95. The cutting edge is 4" and the head length is around 9". The haft is hickory wrapped in buckskin with 3 turks head knots. Its a real hand full.......

I would be proud to get "Hawked in the Back" with that one Ray. Nice work!

Back in my drinkin days I would wake up and go out to the shop to see what I had made at night. I used to wonder how I made a lot of stuff.

SWEET do you ever throw any of them to see how they stick?

Very cool hawk Ray!

Now that is sweet, Ray! Try to remember how to forge more of em'

 

[Raymond Richard]

Will, I'll forge more but the steel has a mind of its own. Normally it tells me the shape it wants to be instead of viseversa. I just go with it........

 

[Tracy Dotson]

nice looking hawk! where do you get 1085/95 in 1" square?

awesome

 

[Raymond Richard]

Terry, As far as throwing them they all stick once you find the right distance.

Tracy, I get all my hawk steel at Pacific Machine and Tool Steel here in Portand. Only problem is when I get it I have to buy whole bars and there anywhere from 18' to 24'.
