Operation Valkyrie
« on: August 29, 2013, 10:11:00 PM »
I just finished up this one off prototype for my new "Valkyrie" hawk and I thought I would share some pics. This is the longest handle I have ever wrapped and it took a huge stingray skin! The normal version will have G10 or micarta scales and a slightly different grind, but I wanted to make this one special.

That's awesome!     :thumbsup:   What steel is it and how thick do you make your hawks?

That's the longest wrap I've seen done!
Very nice.
I like the whole concept.

Thanks a bunch guys! This one does have a pretty deadly feel to it. It would make a good "bump in the night" companion.  ;)
