NICE.  Real Nice.
Got a pile of R/R spikes myself.
Would make one myself but first I have to convince myself that I can. ::)

I got to see one of your hawks at the Classic.  They are top notch.  You do some fine work sir.

Nice work.  It's good to see something other than a spike hawk from a rr spike

     Very nice! 8)  But wouldn't the hammer poll be more useful, if it was straight
out and not curved?  I have a pile of spikes, that I want to do something like this with, when I am permanently out west.  Thanks for sharing.

    very very cool, much better use than me using them as fishing weights.(sturgeon fishing)
  seriously though nice design. I like the hammer part, the blade, very nice.
    question; how does it feel in the hand, the balance? wish I had seen one of your hawks at the classic.  :(

I saw the same hawk at the classic that Clint did, it was a beauty.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Nice hawk.  I have several spikes also I would like to try this with eventually.  How did you punch/form the handle hole?

very old, abandoned train tracks with permission from the owner.  Rail companies are prickly about trespassing and "theft".
IIRC, old shipyards used high(ish) carbon spikes in their rails, but I might be remembering wrong.
