This is a neat little head I found at a yard sale,$5.00. Cleaned it up and made a handle for it, Its about 6 inches across, cutting part about an inch and a half. Has no markings mabey someone here knows something about it?

Nice work. Hickory handle?
Yes Hickory, Wuth only the bark peeled so you can see and feel the grain of the wood.
forgive me if i'm mistaken but that is a dead ringer for an ice axe i used to have. not the climbing type, the ice block delivery man type. i've still got the tongs that came with the axe. i lost the axe in the woods somewhere.
Well why not?
Cool hawk RWB.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
-Lord Byron (George Gordon)
It looks almost identical to a hawk that I have that was made from a ball peen hammer, the blade side from the hammer head and the spike side from the small ball end. I am not sure who made it though, it has been around for a while.
"When young men seek to be like you, when lazy men resent you, when powerful men look over their shoulder at you, when cowardly men plot behind your back, when corrupt men wish you were gone and evil men want you dead; Only then will you have done your share." -Phil Messina
man you got a deal! niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
nice hawk myself I would cut the spike off unless you do alot of digging .
If i don't get some whiskey soon i'm going to die!!!!!! didn't put eough dirt down saw it right off...
Nice hawk!!! good find!
Prepared enough.
i secound taciticalguy's motion
Hey Green220kawasaki, there's a motion on the floor for you to head on over to the Introduction section http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14 and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks.
Nice RWB, I like skunkkiller's suggestion. Except I would leave about 2" flatened out.
"A person is not finished when they are defeated.
A person is finished when they quit."
The spike is not primarily for digging it's a brain piecer. That is a fighting hawk.
I think tennecedar might be right. We had an ice house in town when I was a kid and they used an ax with a point on one end to drag the block around. The blade was used to score and cut. I can vaguely remember them using the ax but I don't remember what it looked like exactly. (shrug)
