Stuart,
Wonderful work!  I'm not a spike hawk fan but those are both real nice.  Thanks for posting.

Super stuff, nice light handles too.  Do you start with a ballpeen hammer, or square stock?

Did you fold and forge weld the eye, or pierce it?

The forge work is splendid and the handle finish reminds me of a nice gun stock.  Good work.
