Thanks. The symbols say Hildr (battle). Hildr was one of the 12 valkyries. The single rune means tyr, or warrior.
These are 1/4" A2. 5.5" tip of spike to edge. 10" tall. Walnut handles. They still need to be heat treated but I wanted to go ahead and darken the steel and get a quick handle on one to see how it would look. I have some distressed leather cord and copper or brass pins I am going to try and implement on the handles. |

Pretty much those are badass coconut splitters! And I have a lot of coconuts here in Miami. What will something like that retail for? Ballpark. Chris He said $275 on Facebook. I'm sure there are things that can make that price vary. ETA: "Thanks. $275, but these are all sold." |

The price seems reasonable, but I'll confine myself to my $50 Estwing Campers axe. Good luck to those that get to buy one, as they look very nice. Chris |

It'll make my second hawk from Smithy!

| Thanks everyone. My hawk obsession has been burning for the last few years. So far I really like this design for a small hawk. As long as the owner/user understands it is small and doesn't expect this thing to do what a Hawk that's twice as long and twist as heavy can do then I think owners of this hawk will find it to be a great hawk. |

For real. I could cancel my chopper RFP and look into a Smithyhawk especially if the other steel options he's looking at includes S7/L6/3v/H13/4160 Quoted:

Nifty. Would be a great size for a pack-hawk. For real. I could cancel my chopper RFP and look into a Smithyhawk especially if the other steel options he's looking at includes S7/L6/3v/H13/4160 I was looking at L6 and CPM3V but decided to go with A2. I just felt for the intended use for the hawk that A2 will work wonderfully. If It was a larger design and folks expected it to do what large hawks do (breaching/prying) I would have gone with 3V. Before any go out the door I will be testing the first one. HARD! I think the A2 will perform to my expectations.

| Thanks. I really like how they have turned out so far. I forced aged some knives this weekend and they turned out exactly how I want these hawks to look. Slightly pitted and darkened. I should get them back from Peters this week and will hopefully get a few finished by the weekend and test one. Stay tuned for test video! |
