Here a fun little unit I put together last fall and have used on many a bivouac and outing since.

Oh good lordy!  Now I want one of those with a spiderweb pattern on the leather frog!

AAARGH!  Why is it everything you do causes me to covet it?!?!

Thanks, fellas.  :)

JW: I'm impressed somebody out there knows what a frog is!

Stoker: I'm not sure of the steel.  I didn't make the head.  I simply rescued it from a life of rust and dis-use :)

Exactly how I carry my hatchets and small axes!  It makes it sooooo much easier to sit down!

Looks like a very handy tool to have along.

Very nice tool.  Hatchets/Hawks are fast growing on my list of favorite things to collect and learn about.

If I had to chose between a well sharpened knife and a well sharpened hatchet/tomahawk to carry in the woods, then the knife would come in dead last.

Nice looking Hawk and I really like the leather work ! I have a hawk & hatchet head I'm in the process of bringing back to life right now. Bob
