Modern Tomahawk {The Peregrine}

[srtben]

I just finished up this hawk tonight. This is the first full tang hawk I have done, and I am very pleased with how it came out.
I did a wip on it if you are interested in seeing the process... Full tang axes and hawk {WIP}
 I have to give credit to Daniel Winkler for the bungee retention idea on the sheath, it is a simple but very functional way of locking the hawk in place.
The Steel is 4140, with an OAL of 11", a head length of 5 1/4", and a cutting edge that is 2 7/8" long.
Let me know what you guys think.

Ben,
I'm impressed with the variety of your work

Very nice Ben.  What finish did you put on the head?  Also, let me know how the 4140 does on a hawk.  I have some of that but wasn't sure how it'd hold up on a cutting tool with that low of a carbon content.  If it performs well, I'd love to see your heat treat method.

one of the better "combat" hawks ive seen, good job indeed!

Thanks Jeff! I think I have ADD sometimes, I get a design in my head and can't get it out until I make it. Kitchen, tactical, hunting, I like 'em all!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I think I might do one up with curly maple scales here soon!
