Just finished this hawk for a friend and fellow forum member. Forged from a HC railroad spike, Maple handle with pewter and nickel silver inlays. Thanks for looking
I now own this hawk and these pics don’t do it justice.
The head and shaft balance perfectly in my hand. Hard to believe Tallpine hasn’t been working a forge his entire life. I thought his knife making was incredible…his hawks are even better!
I have the second one he made am very, very happy with it. I also have several of his knives and will tell your that Tallpine is not only an artist in steel but also someone who knows how to build a knife.
