no-name western pattern double bit on a 36" octagonal house handle. Axe head fit right on the handle. Just had to trim down the shoulder.

Chopping test, slightly modded trail hawk, ka-bar kukri, and GB wildlife hatchet. 30 swings each.

The hawk is on a haft I modded from a pick handle, about 2 or 3 inches longer than a cold steel handle and about half as heavy.
Close to half the weight of the wildlife too, I could swing it all day.
The judge made sure I was equal in my swings,

I have seen a few comments here about hawks not being real working tools, I beg to differ. I wasn't used to the extra length and weight difference, so accuracy was not good, either. A little practice and it would do even better.
