Thanks for posting pics BGG! Ok, so here's the backstory.....
My Son, is proud of his Viking heritage, so I liked the Hawk/War Axe that BGG had made a prototype of, and figured I would inquire as to if he would make one for my son. Here's part 2 of the story, awhile back, my son had let our Rat Terrier , "Chance" out the back door to chase a fat Fox Squirrel that had been harassing him to no end. The Rat Bastid was being such a PITA, that my boy picked up a claw hammer laying on a bench there at the back door and threw it at said squirrel....and promptly knocked it off the tree where Chance immediately exacted his revenge for all the torment! Chance did what Rat Terriers do......and shredded that little menace. The Pot growing hippies next door witnessed this and starting shrieking....having a meltdown as it were over the demise of the poor little tree rat. My son retrieved his "Squirrel Hammer" and now keeps it on hand to use when needed for marauding tree rats.
So, as BGG and I are working on this project, I told him of this story. BGG came up with the idea of naming the axe, "Ratatoskar" the messenger Squirrel in Viking Mythology, that transports messages between Valhalla and Hell......so that's what we named the new "Squirrel Hammer"! LOL BGG used the Runes markings to name it so........
I can't wait to see the expression on my Son's face when he unwraps that gift!
Oh, and I arranged to buy the prototype for riding in my Work Truck.......in my day to day, I may come across a Gator, Hog, Bear, Crackhead.....no telling what else, and a handy Hawk might just be of use! LOL
