I know I'm lucky to have one of Mr. Halverson's hawk heads. I plan on bringing it to the Classic for a little show and tell. I mounted the head on a piece of 100 year old juniper with a hippo ivory tusk handle. It is one of my most proud possesions! Joe

Oh, I thought you meant you had grown a pair and were coming to the Classic.
Nice work

Don't let that modest BS from KH fool ya. He's got mad skills. I'll bet you won't find too many better fitting handles, edge angles, or metal work than you'll find on those 2 pieces. AND, he builds decent bows too. Glad to call him friend.

I am with you owlbait, I have one of his neck knives and it's a work of art and gets used everyday, I also got to look these over very close up,

and they are a work of perfection no doubt.

Kevin, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you deeply. My good griend, Isaac, won this last night. I cannot think of someone that would have more fun with it than him. Just know you have put a good weapon in the hands of an U.S. Infantryman.

Very cool, couldn't have been happier for him. Great young man. Thanks again Kevin, I tried but glad I didn't win after all was said and done.

Pappy, thanks for posting that picture! That young man means a lot to me and seeing him grinning that cheese eatin' grin of his at the Classic is awful good for this old fart's heart!

Isaac and I have this ritual of poking each other in the belly with a finger. First time he did this, he laughed at my burgeoning middle aged spread. When I poked back, I hurt my finger on his rock hard teen abs. He laughed. I poked him silently again, then poked myself. I looked up at him as he laughed and poked my little chubby potbelly yet again saying, "Good hunter!" Then I poked his granite gut and said, "Baaaaaad hunter!"

Ever since that day, years ago, we reenact this ritual upon meeting.

This Christmas, I picked him up at the airport. He flew home on his first leave after finishing basic training and assignment to the 101st Airborne. After the hugs and backslaps, we went to the ritual. But this time after poking his gut and calling him by his name, Bad Hunter, I gripped his bicep. I remember when it was a pipestem, it wasn't even all that long ago I could wrap my short stubby fingers around his whole bicep. This time was different. What was there was significant, and I whispered, "Bad hunter maybe, but Good Warrior."
