For Rendezvous compititions in hawk and knife events, are all blades created equally?
Or are there certain ones that kinda’ “stick”out?
Here’s what I’ve got , the hawk was picked up at a CLA show in Lexington Ky. a few years back, different handle now of course.
The knife if memory serves me correctly , I got on a trip to Friendship a few years back.
It originally had flat brads through flat leather scales, which I didn’t like the feel of.
So I wet and stretched rawhide leather around the handle area.
That worked loose very quickly , then I brushed on hot melted bees wax over it and added the wider leather thong in the picture.
The thong has a couple stitches added to help secure it in place, it’s been thrown several times with no ill effects ... so far.
I’m not trying to start a Urinenation match about Who’s the best Smith, just wanting to know what everone else is throwing..
Thanks for any replies! Got pics?
