Two Norse Hawks

[Wolf_1989]

My pillaging gear is almost complete. Next I need to carve a wooden dragon head and mount it on my canoe.

This should show the difference between a 22" haft and a 25" haft.

 

[Kenny H.]

Very nice!

I wish Cold steel's other hawks didn't have big holes in the sides.

[Cpl Punishment]

Don't laugh man, everyone needs their own dragon ship!

 

[hawkhead]

Those things have total anihilation written all over them.

ULF = wolf

I'm leaving the long one plain for now until I see how the handle fares against the usual small degree of shrinkage I expect, especially in winter.

But the 22" one, some interlaced knotwork celtic/norse designs are coming soon.

Uruz, Lagaz, Fehu

ULF

The sword is a River Witham viking sword repro by Generation2. It's a nicely well-tempered piece of 5160 steel. No, it's not as cool and awesome and perfect as those high priced Albions but I've tested it thoroughly and it's built like a tank. I have absolute confidence in it.

The Seax is by Himalayan Imports (made by Kami Dil). Again, very tough (probably 5160) and it took a surgical quality edge. I'm hoping the shop back in Nepal will make a longer Langeseax version about 20" long. This one is 14.5" long.

The next acquisitions I need are a good viking shield and a spangenhelm.

I already have a viking dog, Thor, who is 1/2 Norwegian Elkhound and 1/2 German Shepherd.

He suggests we sail our canoe along the beach at the local lake and run ashore to raid peoples' picnics.

 

[Kenny H.]

Man look at that beast! I'd say you're fit for some pillaging!

 

[hawkhead]

We share the same taste in dogs. He looks as though he could rip a bus in half.

 

[crossada]

awesome gear. and dog!

Great dog.

Dude, you seriously need to make a scale dragonship with say 3 shields on each side, and get a helm for your dog.

Damn,now I really want to do one. . .

 

[CitizenQ]

You know fellas...it aint a proper rampage without a burning ship funeral at the end.

 

[kalis]

Nice assortment of weaponry. Useful tools for back in the day when the way to meet girls was by attacking their village

Not to mention a large, deep horn that sounds like a Tyrannosaurus ripping ass.

I put one on him once. He didn't seem to be very amused.

[PayetteRucker]
