Very nice indeed. Especially like the osage handle. I think you'd well if you showed up with these at a bow building event or archery event.

I've got a similar one made from a horseshoe rasp. The fella that made them showed up at a Black Powder event I was shooting in and I promptly acquired one. As well as a couple of spare hickory handles.

That turned out great.  I've  got to make one if I ever get my shoulder fixed.

Thanks fellas I appreciate the comments. Just my humble opinion but I think every Outdoorsman should have a tomahawk in his bag, they are lightweight, versatile and really fun to play with >:D (f)

I agree, Chad, I always have one in my pack. Right now one of Mr. Halverson's.

Very nice!  Is that a 4 in 1 rasp, or a wide farriers rasp, or just a half moon?  I only need a forge, an anvil, tongs, and 2 good shoulders to be able to make one (f) >:D!  I would like to have one, but the "Ronnyvoo" prices seem a bit steep!  Got a couple old files and a 4 in 1 laying around though!  Neat work!
