Kevin Colwell Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 that is sweet! really cool. That is the best I have seen in some time. It is elegant and vicious at the same time. please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.

Eddie Eggleston Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 yeh I remember the wip of this thing. such a work of art.

Jim P Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 That is beautiful, the inlay really sets it off, very nice.
Wes Detrick Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 That is a great looking hawk! I love all of the inlay that you did with it. Great work! “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." -Albert Camus http://www.krakenforge.net/
Matt Todd Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Very cool, I like the cut out of the heart and the heart motif. It says, I love you as you are plunging it into your enemies skull

Matthew Parkinson Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Matt Todd that got a laugh from me ... the heart motif seems to be pretty common, I was surprised at how many of these I found with similar piercing.

Dave Stephens Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 You're on fire lately, man. Seems like every time I turn around you've got another really nice piece to share. Nice work. Looks thin and deadly. A real skull-splitter. Scary. Keep up the good work! --Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com
Matthew Parkinson Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 Dave that is really good to hear thank you... I have a few more fun one in the works...

Phil Ullrich Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 That's so cool, what a beauty. Hardly ever seen modern examples like this. I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan.... - Benjamin Franklin
