Here's the one I carry on the outside of my Day pack..

One of two I bought from Clay Walker aka: Ragnarok Forge.. It's very nice, light weight and holds a nice edge.. pretty handy for when I have to dig out an arrow.

Here is my companion in the woods :)
It`s small and handy and holds an edge good.

It is handmade in Sweden.

So, just a question here, what is the advantages/diferences, if any, of a hawk over an axe of same size?

Post by: Stumpkiller on November 09, 2011, 01:58:00 PM

No hawks, but I have a polled hand axe and a hatchet I use occasionally. ;-)

This little hatchet is up for the the "cute" award. I've owned it 30 some years and it goes camping with me. I rarely carry it on my belt for hunting though. It measures only 11" top to bottom. Margly, that is a good looking axe.

This is my Shrew Hawk that was a gift from my Tradgang friends.

I use it all the time while in the woods. Great for hanging stands and clearing shooting lanes!

Nope. A 'hawk or tomahawk is a hatchet or small axe in the hands of a heathen sauvage who might be apt to throw or otherwise abuse such a handy thing. ;-)

Too nice a tool & weapon to throw away. :biglaugh:

OK, I'll post mine. It's a H and B Forge "Lady's Throwing Hawk" with the handle cut down to 10" and wrapped in elk leather. Nothing fancy but it's everything I need.

Im using this one for the time being. I forged it from a 1 1/2 round bar of L-6 steel X 3 inches long. I carved the haft from Ash and Walnut.

I recently got my first one, other than a Tactical Hawk. It's full tang Damascas and 12" long. It really takes a nice edge and the balance is great. I'm lovin' it. My next one will be a Shrew Hawk.

W-A-A-A-Y too much Viking blood in me to look at this thread and not go a bit beserker.

This, and the Howard Hill thread, and Bowie threads are too much for me to handle. Done ruined me for good!

P.S. Ever wonder why Ron LaClair is somehow in all these over-the-top bad-influence threads?

He is a bad influence boys, a bad, bad influence. Turn away while you can--------oops, too late, you are already hooked-----whether you know it or not.

It's just the way these things get passed along through the ages.

A tomahawk, a simple bow, and a well-made Bowie. A man can not own better.

Thanks Larry, but like I said, its not mine. I dont make that kind of money (Mucho Denero!). The gold is GOLD and the silver is SILVER. Just made by a friend of mine, he's been makin a livin building muzzleloader, knives and hawks for about 30 yrs. An absolute master of his work and one of the most humble guys I've ever met.

So with a little prodding and poking from my buddies Al and Gene, I am posting a few hawks up.
I will post some more in the next few days. I will dig around and post NW Trad Wifes carry hawk here shortly as well.

Ron that spike hawk is a pure piece of wickedness right there. I have several like that serving overseas with my nephews and other servicemen. It is my favorite design.

Post by: portugeejn on December 06, 2011, 11:16:00 PM

Not real pretty, but pretty functional, and technically I suppose it isn't a "hawk".

This Estwing has been with me for about 20 years or so. I use for digging out broadheads, roughing out bow staves, chopping kindling, driving tent stakes, the occasional nail, wacking a stubborn truck starter, and stuff I can't rembember even using it for-I just remember it is really useful.

Enough stuff that it is one of the last things I would get rid of if I had to.
