Throwing knife & Axe



 I finally found a small throwing knife to go along with my small H&B hawk.  I cleaned up the leather handle and checked the handle, dyed it and treated it with neat‘s foot oil. I made up a sheath for the knife and decided to make up a rig that carries both for the trade gun matches.

It can be added to one’s belt by slipping it over the belt or remove it the same way with out removing your belt. It will also carry over one’s shot bag .
