Cold Steel Hawk

[spamel]

Are you ordering one, Ratbag? If not, I may get one in a few weeks/months/years, depending on when this Company I work for decide to pay me!

 

[Pignut]

Very nice
How did you fix the antle on? epoxy and a bolt?

Mark

friction and bolt!

 

[Mesquite]

You did a great job with that Pignut. Reading the comments about them is swaying my mind towards getting one.
What suprised me was that it's held on with a grubnut as well. I would have thought that the friction fit ought to have been enough with that added bit as well.

Friction alone is enough, I have taken the grub screw out now!

If I need to replace the handel whilst out and about I probably wont have an alan key with me!

Sorry I meant fixing the antler onto the end of the handle, not the handle onto the head.
I assumed you had butted the antler against the end of the handle - is that the case?

Cheers

Doh!!!!!

I cut the end off the handle to make it flat, then drilled both the antler and handle to accomodate a dowel screw, drilled a hole in a piece of leather for a spacer and epoxy and screwed the whole lot together!

If that makes sence

 

[Buckshot]

OK, as I thought.
Planning on having a go at something similar myself.
Have you tried it in earnest with the extention? Is there any movemement at all?

Thanks

Mark

 

[Pignut]

Had a good bash with it at the W/E and it has shown no movement or cracks/damage of any kind

 

[Buckshot]

Good news then.
I'll have to get round to mine soon. Making a pair of moccs atm

Mark

 

[Pignut]

funny that got a pair on the drawing board as well

 

[Buckshot]

Are you going to the moot?
We can compare moccs and hawks!
Can't miss us, we're the ones with the indian headress hanging next to the tepi!

 

[Pignut]

Fraid not! (Though I wish I was!)

Take it you like the native american thing!

 

[Buckshot]

Partly,
but the thread is about hawks and then we're talking moccs.
We'll be onto dream catchers and peace pipes before long!
