I like that... a lot. Very unique and I'd like to have one of those made someday to engrave myself.

 

[FL-Flinter]

Those are really unique! I really like 'em!

crap, i thought i was the worlds' greatest hawk maker. then you had to come along. now i got to go get a job ! did you weld the bowl onto the head ? that's pretty stuff, you know ? i used to get my jollies making medieval battle weapons. morningstars, maces, really neat stuff to bash in a brain ! all hand forged, fun work ! i made that stuff for realism though, not for pretty. you know, sitting bull or cochise, either one would have traded his wife and 2 or 3 girlfriends for one of these !

Chris, nice hawks!

 

[monk]

yes, although i never made one. but your hawks were just awesome. i've seen a lot of work done on hawks, but never inlay like that. all i ever saw or did was the mor primitive style of work appropriate to the era.

Love your hawks, Chris.
Great work, thanks for sharing them.

Thanks,
Peter
