I would recommend lightly sanding in between each coat of stain. Also sand off the fray at the head of the handle that was caused by the tomahawk head. Then use a rasp file to soften up the inside of the head to prevent further fraying into the handle. You want a smooth friction lock.

@TheSmokinApe 3 года назад

Nice info, thanks man!

@johncaster8037 4 месяца назад

Well done. Tip w the bluing products, place in a shallow dish to avoid contaminating the products in the original container. I steel wool the head and reapply blue 2nd coat. Sand back to color of choice. Again this is good looking Hawk upgrade!

That's a good idea!

Thanks man! Followed your recipe on a CS Rifleman's Hawk and it turned out great! Added a leather collar and a handle wrap and I'm pretty sure It'll pass muster.

@TheSmokinApe 9 лет назад

Cool, I have done a similar finish on the Viking Hand Axe too...

So, WHAT does the perma blue do?? I didnt hear an explanation for that??

@TheSmokinApe 9 лет назад

Its a cold blue that puts an oxidation on the steel and helps prevent rust...

@musicisbrilliant 9 лет назад

TheSmokinApe Nice! Thanks for the info and great video! You do great work!

@craigcook1571 5 лет назад

You also can blue it then steel wool it to varying degrees in different spots to make it look more aged

@falkharvard8722 4 года назад

I have actually begun a successful side business making Cold Steel axes cut, bite and actually WORK. Cheap sure but they just don't perform. In my opinion, save the money and have one forged. Support a local blacksmith and get a quality product. Taiwan only half make Cold Steel axes

@TheSmokinApe 4 года назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment. While I agree that supporting local blacksmiths is a fantastic idea, in this case I wanted a low cost hawk to play around with, I understand it's limitations and it works fine for me. I have a few other axes around should the need to use one of them arises.

@dannyd2275 5 лет назад

The head is not loose and won't fly off now that the screw is not in it?

@TheSmokinApe 5 лет назад

No, it uses a friction fit

@dannyd2275 5 лет назад

@@TheSmokinApeok, if I buy one should I sand it at the top for a better fit or does it come like that already? This video made me wanna get 1 and customize the hell out of it lol Thank you 👍

@TheSmokinApe 5 лет назад

You want it to be fatter at the top, so don’t sand it much there. The top is what holds it on... good luck with the project

Have you used the trail hawk as well? I purchased one recently and have been thinking of getting the pipe hawk as well. I wonder if both heads will fit on the same handle?

@TheSmokinApe 5 лет назад

Sorry man, no experience with the trail hawk.

@the_Ghost_Uchiha99 2 года назад

I believe all cold steel hawks share the same size handle bc I bought a norse hawk and frontier hawk I cut about 2.5" off the handle for better balance for throwing hope this helps

@cfltitan 5 лет назад

Damn that came out really nice!

@TheSmokinApe 5 лет назад

Thanks!

@musicisbrilliant 9 лет назад

Okay, another serious question Id really like to know... Whats the differemce between the pipe hawk and the riflemans hawk?? They look the same to me.... I guess I see the differences but they appear very similar.

@TheSmokinApe 9 лет назад

I think the main different is the pull or the "hammer head". You can't go wrong with either...

@musicisbrilliant 9 лет назад

TheSmokinApe Good point, thank you!!

@brianmccann666 5 лет назад

The shape of two tomahawks are very different. Pipe Hawk, Frontier Hawk, Spike Hawks have the same basic cutting edge shape. Rifleman's Hawk... Bigger cutting edge, thicker head, and large hammer poll. Its a heavy chopper. Very Axe like. Pipe Hawk... Is a medium chopper. Smaller hammer poll. Frontier Hawk... Is a Light Chopper. Uses Speed instead of weight to chop. No hammer poll nor spike...

@nickolsen5211 7 лет назад

Awesome hawk, does the pipe hawk throw well?

@TheSmokinApe 7 лет назад

Nick Olsen Yeah, it's a lot of fun to throw.

@nickolsen5211 7 лет назад

@JawhBoyLeaf 8 лет назад

Thanks man I was able to mod my tomahawk too! I perma blued it like yours. I was just wondering if your axe head also has a metallic smell to it after you blued it? If so do you know how I can get rid of that smell?

@TheSmokinApe 8 лет назад

It did have a bit of a smell, I treated it a few times with Balistol / WD-40 and it went away...

@Saguanay 8 лет назад

Take it outside. Chop wood with it, soon it will smell like wood. :)

@BastianKevin666 7 лет назад

NOT a Axe, NOT a Hatchet. Its a Tomahawk. There not even close to the same thing. A hatchet and a axe is, but not a tomahawk. Tomahawk REQUIREMENT (head slips down the handle) so you can use it like a knife. If you see a so called tomahawk that doesn't have a head that slips down the shaft. They are lying and misleading you. Its a hatchet then.
