Hey that's all really nice! Did you make everything pictured? The engravings too?

Thanks for teaching me the word "panolopy"!

[TradT]

Great looking setup!

Thanks for teaching me the word "panolopy"!

*cough* panoply *cough*

[Shreckmeister]

Is the band on the haft poured pewter?

Fixed it...

Is the band on the haft poured pewter?

Gus,

Yes...as is the top. There is a small heart on the reverse side, too.

Giz,

Don't be such a tease.    Who made the hawk?  How big is it and how much does it weigh? 

Does the hawk slip down into the scabbard?  Is there a leather flap over the top of the hawk head to secure it?  Though I know they are authentic, I've never made an "over the shoulder" slung hawk scabbard before and that's why I ask.  I have wondered how comfortable they were/are to carry that way

I once made a leather waist belt with a double frog for a bayonet over a tomahawk.  It carried the hawk nicely, but then I found out there was no evidence for such a rig even though such rigs were made for a bayonet over a hanger (Infantry Sword) so I stopped wearing it.

It looks like a modern framers hatchet someone took a grinder to, 20th century. They were and probably still are used in rough framing 2x lumber buildings.

[gizamo]

Actually... it is a Plumb shingling hatchet head that I reshaped.

They make a outstanding polled hawk when reshaped. 

Gus, 

The carrier fits the hawk like a glove and is very comfortable to carry over the shoulder.

Thanks Giz.  At 60, I'm a little more into "comfort" than I used to be.  GRIN.  I've been thinking about making a belt frog for my next "bag axe," but I may consider doing an over the shoulder rig as well.
