Found some old pics
« on: March 26, 2013, 11:46:00 PM »
Saw these while browsing through my photobucket album. From about 8 years ago, the sword is from probably 10 years ago.

 
 
 
Been a long time since I saw these, and figgured I'd share them with my Trad Gang family.
The sword, and spike hawk were forged from leaf springs.......and the hunter I believe was 5160......but I may be wrong as it was a while ago. The hunter is cocobolo and nickle silver........the sword is 28 inch blade and leather wrap over oak, with polished steel fittings. The hawk head was browned with birchwood casey plum brown.

Very nice indeed. What are the dimensions on the hunter?

Thanks everyone,
Danny, I don't remember anymore exactly, but I believe it has about a 4 inch blade. It was doing kitchen duty in California when last I heard.   :)
