Most excellent video, absolutely love that you showed each part of the process in detail. Also digging the classical music accompaniment. A lot of guys claim they "did this" or stained the handle "with that" but often times it doesn't appear that they used said product at all. Thank you for this.

nice job. i did something similar to my pipe hawk. i chose to sand mine which left the black paint in some spots then soaked it in vinegar for the patina which gave it a nice rustic look. i also applied burn marks on the handle with a blow torch. stained it and finished it off with teak oil.

Wow! That came out beautiful. I got mine when they first came out. The handle is not as long as that one and it doesn't have a set screw. The darn head was always falling off till I tweaked it. Always with me when out in the woods camping, four wheeling, and hunting. Those were the days.

Nice, but I just left mine original. Now it has a well worn patina that looks a hundred years old. Did the shaft with pretty much the same stuff but a browish cherry finish. I relieved the bottom 10" of the shaft and sewed on a leather wrap that is flush with the diameter so the head can stilll slide off. Kind of a novelty item, IMO. Too light to chop much and to narrow to split much, but a very quick handling fighting tool.

I left the black stuff on mine. I know it looks awful but it does protect it. Rubbed down the haft and oiled it but string wrapped it because the shaft is a bit too thin for more (but quick easy to remove if necessary). A wonderfully useful tool, so versatile and easy to carry.

The paint on my Trail Hawk seems to be impervious to paint stripper. I tried a brand called Nitro Mors, which has been incredible on stripping paint for me, but I've tried three times now, including sanding between applications with wet and dry, and the paint is holding fast. Next thing I'll try is a wire brush attachment on my drill......
