The knife maker Dee Hinck is a blacksmith who made a name for himself in the mountain man rendezvous and among private buyers as unquestionably a master Tomahawk fabricator. One of the best you never heard of because he only did personal orders so you had to already know of him to have him make one. I believe his works should be more wide spread and its actually kind of a travesty that the Tomahawk world doesn't get see his works. He makes tons of other amazing things but that's for a different thread.
Hincks Hawks, as they are lovingly dubbed by those who know of them, are renowned for their balance, simple yet sleek design and unwavering performance. He handmakes everyone his self and puts it through a stringent balance test and if it doesn't make the "cut" It is sent right back to the workshop to be re forged because he believes that any piece of metal with his name on it directly represents him as a person and he can and will stand proud by it. He has 51 years of experience in his craft, he uses his own custom design for the hawks that has been tried to be copied by countless others but they simply couldn't compete with his sheer skill and experience, so quite a few shysters out there started buying them for relatively cheap from Dee and putting their stamp on it and selling it triple what they paid, so he kind of got turned off on the idea of putting his work out there.
But as a meddling grandson with a "tv typewriter' as he calls it (laptop) I want to share them. I can post better and more pics later and of his amazing knifes and other things if this thread goes well. I know he would absolutely love to read that someone liked them.
