Then it wouldn't be a rail road spike knife would it? Quoted:
Quoted:
If you're going to put that much time and effort into something, why not start with good material? True, but it's just a work of art, right now. He could have forged it out of good steel and forged the railroad spike part just as well.
That way, he'd have a knife that looked like a railroad spike, instead of a railroad spike that looked like a knife. But, that's just my practical side talkin. |

| I'd rather have a Tomahawk forged out of a railroad spike like buddy of mine had someone build him. A very nice 'hawk with a nice hammer on the back from the original spike head. I'd probably get it plated to prevent any rusting, but I'd have to research a good, durable plating material. Any recommendations? |

A piece of tool steel is often forge welded into the cutting edge of a hawk. |
