Sure nuff! Jump on it! The more the merrier!

100 ton Pirahna press:drool:! Hawk is one-of-a-kind perfection!

No, I'm lucky because I get to see what you like to share! Wade is a creative genius.

Where do you find these cool antlers?!!! First ya gun down Blitzen for his head gear and now some Axis deer. Very nice!

I've been forging files for 20 years but I never thought of using them for bolsters. Capital idea! Any thoughts on a handle material. I was thinking the other day of making some micarta out of old worn out 2" sanding belts. Kind of the same theme you have going with the file bolsters. Using...

Missed Ya Randy. Glad to see you have not been goofing off chasing reindeer in the Everglades with Wade. Your quirt is craftsmanship par excellence!

Thanks for the tip Mike. I will try it.

Started filing on my KITH today. You can begin to see bare metal. This scale is punishing on files. Anyone have a good solution to getting rid of scale that doesn't involve a grinder? Not that I don't like grinders, in fact one day I would like to own one. Lotsa filings!

But it is rust, with style Randy!

100% improvement!

I am liking what I see here! Keep us posted with your progress!

The original thought was some type of wrap but as I work on knives my mind tends to wander...

Franklin, the face of my anvil measures 16.5" and the knife is just a tad shy of the full lenght of the face...I figure about 11". Thanks George. I'm fond of big cleaver-type blades.

Right out of the fire. Forged from a leaf spring off of a retired Army 5-ton truck. I'll treat it as if it is 5160. The knife is annealing right now. May have time tomorrow to contine work on it.

:drool: Any particular reason why you decided to go with a Wizard, beside the one where you knew it would cause uncontrollable drooling when I showed it to my 10 year old Harry Potter fanatic son.:biggrin: He and I both think you are a Knife Wizard!

Ya know, with all these hawk makers we should do a hawk-in-the-hat dealio. Again, Keith. Fantasic job!

Here is my "10" year old helper working on his fire set(Dad is holding the steel for him off-camera. ) Today is his birthday!

Thanks guys for your comments. They are so well received. I have tried to get my 9 year old to help me with these things but he says that he has to finish his own projects first! He has a 24 oz head he is pounding away on for his own hawk and is also working on a fire iron set for his Aunt...

Will be a treat to watch it evolve!

KT will have to behave with his better half carrying that hawk around!
