Hey James small world, good to see you here to bud.

Strikers are my bread & butter.

Ok, you certainly got my interest. How did you make the hawk? Did you drift the handle hole?
How about the skull? Is that bone?

Very nice work by the way.

Wow....

Your work is awesome!

The knives remind me of a style made by a smith named Tai Goo. They are very SE Asian in appearance.

Good stuff!
 
Thanks every one :)

Both of the hawks started out as ball-peen hammers, I forged them close to there finished shape then drifted the eye with a drift I made from a huge old chisel, then did the rest of work to get them looken good.

The skull is a deer antler crown.

Yes the knives are Tai inspired, but I stay away from his blade shapes so as to not infringe on his style, I do the sockets a bit differently to. I also like the idea that they can be used as a spear in a pinch.
