- Ok so maybe some nonsense.
Just got a trail hawk and its was ugly so a few steps to make it look a lot better. Will be doing some more mods when i have the time and will be making a leather sheath.
I had the Birchwood Casey gun kit in the house but all you really need is some stripper, stain, gun blue and true oil.
Hope you enjoyed this clip and got some inspiration, all questions welcome just leave a comment.
Cheers now,
Argo
...quick hack...use discarded polystyrene packing blocks for a sanding block..they conform to all shapes better than a wooden block...works fine for me...
I like this straight to the point, no bollox, just this is what i'm going to do and you do it you don't take 5 minutes to explain everything.
Thank you, lucky I don't like talking on camera a great lot ha ha!
All the best Argo.
Nice job. Ready and waiting (in a conspicuous place) to be admired or to deal with unwanted guests. Love your tats, too.
Great video. This was a lot more helpful than some of the other modification videos I have seen. I have some good plans for my Cold Steel War Hammer now.
sounds fun :)
cracking vid, loved were it ended up, looked well, and definatly better than when it 1st arrived, cracking vids mate, keep em coming, all the best, john

Mike
Turned out quite beautiful, thank you for sharing! :-)
100% better than the factory finish I must say... Mark
Thanks bud glad you liked it be doing some more mods to it soon
Argo
What a transformation! you have turned a nice axe into a great axe great work buddy,
nice job with the cold blue, i tried to cold blue an old air rifle 20 odd years ago & made a pig ear of it !
atb idris.
Top job buddy
haha! hey there brother, you know Hereford i guess? i competed there last year :) and used to live there!
Glad you like the channel,
Argo.
Nice work Brother, well done, I'm getting the 2Hawks warbeast, should be a fun toy.
Great job. Great choice in cs tomahawks too.
yeah looks bad ass!
all the other leather work you've done looks amazing too
@TopoftheLineTraining thanks, yeah it's nice and fast and you get a great finish, Argo
Great video, inspiring and informative. Thank you.
Lovely work mate. I love my 'hawk and I must get some pimping done to her. I leave the screw out of my hawk head as it makes it easier to break down and keep in my tool kit in the van. Love your cat, by the way, he looks about the same size as my dogs lol ;)
Righto sounds like a plan
Its easy to make a mess with that stuff but the hawk made it look easy!
Cheers now,
Argo
Thanks for the inspiration, I want to do similar to my warhammer but use the alumnium black stuff for the hammer head and rub wd40 to prevent rust. The handle Ill do what you did but I'm using a dark teak stain and beeswax to finish. Love the hawk tho, I just can't decide what one to get eventually. I have my warhammer to get on with anyway. Thanks.
Sweet!
Nice vid mate. Going to try it as well. Your vid helps a lot.
hope it goes well
Excellent work!
@fog360 thanks mate, got to make a sheath now. Argo
Nicely done!
Killed it, mate! Gonna try the same.
Great video man, really useful. I hope to do the same with a frontier hawk. Iechyd da!
I just bought a cs-pipe hawk. :)
ace good luck hope it goes well
That looks awesome, good job dude!

Thanks John means a lot mate :)
Nice hawk and vid!
@MCQBushcraft Thanks mate going to take it out for few throws tomorrow. Might even film my first attempts to give you all a laugh :) Argo
Glorious
If you don't look after it you might get some surface rust I haven't had a problem. Thanks :) atb argo
Looks brilliant bud .
Might have to look into the gun blue , I like that finish .
Any plans to improve the edge ? Mine was piss poor from stock .
Awesome bud
i did back it up a little before i blued it going to hit it again to give it a nice polish and maybe fill that hole as i have some jb weld hanging around from making stoves.
glad you liked it bud
Argo
good old Luke! :) yeah give it ago but they look pretty nice anyhow
Atb Argo
Thanks brother, Atb Argo
@6Ssurvival thanks mate, Argo
Looks good!
LOVE it!
looks good! i just recently got one of these myself and am looking to do pretty much these same mods. have you found that after stripping the black paint from the hawk that it's any more prone to rusting? that's pretty much my only concern.
Sounds good mate you will have to get a vid up :) you seen the sheath i made for it? im pretty proud of that haha
Atb Argo
thanks pal :)
Argo
@TheBazFella get it pimped brother. :) just made a sheath for mine! Yeah I left mine out as well! Bronson is a fat cat haha! Atb Argo.
good one!
nice cat
Isn't it going to rust? Great video by the way!!
What was that yellow liquid that you put to the hawk head after the paint remover? Thanks
@leaflifebushcraft good old mike :) I subbed you a while back brother. atb Argo
Very nice butt :)
ive just done something similar to a norse hawk but its going to be pimped viking style!
fancy a throw on sunday?
putting the stripper on that wooden handle... dunno man, heh. ..
They come with wax shit all over them you could waste time with some sand paper 3 years on and it's going strong.
Hey how many coats of perme blue?
hahaah "TAIWAN" should have kept the paint on
