Raymond Richard 82 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I've had the small hunter done for a week or so and just finished up the bow tie ax today. The hunter has a 4" 52100 blade, salvaged steel and wrought iron fittings and a sambar stag handle. 8" overall. The ax has a 1065 head and oak handle. 3 Raymond Richard www.hawknknives.com Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff Keyes 700 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Nice! I really like the hatchax. Slit and drifted, or wrapped? g "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. - - -G. K. Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy. Grant Sarver Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Richard 82 Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Slit and drifted. I've done a few wrapped full sized hawks. Might be able to do a tiny single bit ax but can't wrap my head around to do a double bit ax head. Raymond Richard www.hawknknives.com Link to post Share on other sites
Gerhard Gerber 482 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I love both of them, well done! Never heard of a bow tie ax before, what's it's use? Link to post Share on other sites
Wes Detrick 493 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Great work Mr Richard; I love that hunter, but then again, that goes without saying. I always love how your knives do not have ricassos, and are better looking for it. “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." -Albert Camus http://www.krakenforge.net/ Link to post Share on other sites
