    Vernier sight

    tune your hawkes for throwing.

    I know what the angle will do for making the hawke stick. for sure each has a angle which they feel is best. Also the blade length and cutter width makes a difference. I can also imagine what kind of damage that can be done when the piece was used as a weapon. Very nice photos of very nice...
