Norse hawk, custom "Frank"ish" axe with burned handle

Description

This cold steel norse hawk has been customized to resemble the notorious Francisca, or Frankish axe. This leathal throwing and close quarter weapon was so popular amongst the people who wielded it, they were named for it, the Franks! This was reshaped with care to avoid any affect on the temper. The set screw was removed and plugged. The head was then covered on knotwork engraving. The 22 inch American hickory handle was burned and engraved to match. Please note, the norse hawk is a traditional slip fit, or friction fit hawk. This means that the blade is not permanently affixed to the handle.  It is designed as such to not take damage during throwing.  If the blade comes loose, a few blows to the top (blade side) of the handle will tighten it up.  See pics for details and thanks for looking.
