Hawk/knife combo

I just got the little hawk hafted, the knife is one I finished up yesterday. The hawk head is 4" and the haft is 6" made from not so curley curley maple. The knife has a 6 1/4" blade forged from a leaf spring. Overall its 10 1/2". Wrought iron and a piece of deer or elk stag make up the rest. As far as head/handle relation goes for the hawk it looks a little off to me. The eye is either to big or the haft is to short. Let me know what you think. I think the size of the eye is the culpret.
