Hey Guys, Heres some pics of the hawks from the pass around!
First is the Scout, darn handy size hawk for general chores, and light enough that one could wear it while hiking and it wont weigh down.
The stump is green oak and hard as a rock! It took a couple of tries to get a good stick.
Next is the Ranier, nice heavy hawk and it bit deep into the stump with two shots. I like the feel of this one, It would be great on a camping trip. I can see a lot of uses in this one, even a few defense. I worked with a Viking bearded axe replica back in my SCA days and for heavy fighting they are very effective the edge is blunted but the hook is great for grabing a shield and pulling it down, or an errant arm. heres a pic of it
Notice how deep that thing went into that oak!
Here is a shot of both
Lots more to come as I get out in the yard with them, no room to throw them around but I have lotsa stuff to chop.
I feel a new toy is in my future, I like these things!
