My most recent hawk and carrier. Engraving is a simple Panoply of Arms. The hawks head is capped in pewter and a simple pewter band surrounds the haft. Opposite side has a small weeping heart cast into the haft. The leather carrier is a copy of the one Alexander MacKenzie used on his expedition...

Very nicely done Pease! If you don't mind me asking, how did you finish on the steel? I'm working on a hawk now and would like to attain the same color / finish. Thanks

Pasted it with mustard and let sit overnight. Rinsed off with piping hot water and air dried. 0000 steel wool and oiled.
