Vaughan Sub Zero Mini Mod

[The Warrior]

I actually did this last September, but thought I'd post it here anywhos. Some of you may have seen it before.

Bought this Sub Zero some time ago, finally got around to modding it. I mostly followed this tutorial: http://oldjimbo.com/survival/vaughangrind.html

I ground the head down per the tut. Tried cold bluing the head, but it kept streaking on me, so I went another route. I soaked the head in apple cider vinegar for a few days, to darken/patina/etch it. You can actually see where the heat treat line is. Painted the handle black, and paracord wrapped it. Cool little hatchet, but I feel the eye socket is way too small. I always forget to take before pictures, but I did take one when I first got it:

You can see how small it is next to the BK2:

Thank, appreciated. Doesn't really seem like mods go over too big around here. Or, maybe they just don't like mine?
