My custom tomahawk is now finished!

[Samon]

Finally got round to the (semi) finishing touches on my Cold steel spike hawk. It started life as an ugly factory toy screaming out to be loved!



Sadly it was too fugly, but fear not! I have been known to tinker and restore glory to such creatures!

My original plan has always been to chop the crap spike off and make a hammer poll. Why not buy the frontier hawk? Well, the spike hawk has better lines on the underside!

List of modifications are as follows: remove paint, cut off spike, reprofile, shorten handle top n bottom, add a lanyard tube (broken aluminium crossbow bolt!), grind off the forging marks and polish up the steel. I also used a blow torch to blaken the handle, then I oiled it while still warm!










My photography skills are bad, and my camera is my tablet computer but I think you can see what it looks like!

Hope you like it, I'm rather pleased for now!

Thanks for reading.

Wow! If I didn't know you as an honest chap I would've said that there was no way there were the same axe. I'm incredibly amazed at how sexy you've made that Hawk. Really am blown away by that Samon really am.

Almost unbelievable work Sir, you must be chuffed?

Cheers for posting that,

Goatee boy said it all. Well done on such a sterling piece of work! Going back to a second look at that. I already saved the photos to my PC under the directory titled "job well done"

Really fantastic job, you wouldn't know it was the same tool!

Could you you tell me the weight of the head please?

 

[Samon]

Thanks for the kind words! I hadn't expected it to be so popular.

I do like it, I also need to order in a bunch of leather as I have a load of sheaths to make.. Lol

I'll weigh the head tomorrow mate, but it is very light due to the thin blade.
