Everytime I'm on a RR and see those spikes I think, "man, there should be something I can make with them."  Now I know.  I'm assuming you forge and hammered that spike.  Guess I need to build a billow and a big fire.  :)

Nice hawk Keenan I bet it's heavy. Did you forge weld the handle?

Neat hawk.  I wish you had showed it to me at the Rendevous.   I love throwing hawks and knives.

 Sorry Allen I thought that you saw that one.

Pennhawk, Yes it's fairly heavy but seems to throw ok once you get used to the weight. The handle is welded but not forge welded. I cheated.
