Mick Maxen Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The hawk is approx 19" long x 8" with a 2" cutting edge. The main body is made from 8 bars of twisted pattern weld with approx 20 layers in each bar with a 400 layer cutting edge. The smoke bowl is made from 9 bars of twisted pattern weld arranged in a 3x3 cube and worked to shape then hard silver soldered to the main body. Many Thanks to Alan for supplying the Curly Maple haft which I have treated with Aqua Fortis to bring out the figure and banding. The wooden beads are Californian Buckeye and Redwood and the smoke hole stopper is Buffalo horn. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Craft Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wow I have not seen one that fine in a long time! You do excellent work!! C Craft Customs ~~~ With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! ~~~ C Craft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Longmire Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I wondered when I'd see one of those handles put to use. Most excellent work, sir. Good to see you posting, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 mick - this is beautiful. I really like it, 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. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.
