I am from Norway so i make a convex grind on all my axex and tomahawks, we allways do. But our traditional knives have a scandi grind or a scandivex. Just a ti, i take a copper or brass or German silver rod. Chamfer it with a file so thetreads bite it to it, and screw it inn the hole. Then i cut the rod of and trim it with a file and fine sandpaper. Then there is no more hole there, only a brass or copper eye,looks really good. Never seen any other do this,but something i started doing some years ago,that hole in a nice modded hawk, dont look so good i think.

Scott, I really like your style of presentation. I just ordered Rifleman hawk. I do not intend to throw this axe, but rather to use it as my backup camping axe. To be able to hang a new handle in case that the handle is broken is a great asset, I believe. The other models from CS are all too light for my purpose. Keep posting the wonderful videos! Thanks.

BJ BAHK thank you very much. It’s a nice, and very sharp hawk. If you haven’t already, please see my other video on sharpening. The rifle mans hawk is my most used in the woods. It’s an awesome tool! I know you will enjoy it. Thanks for your support!

Some people don't know this. Most people don't like the set screw, and throw it out. You can fill in the hole with JB Weld from the inside of the head, with packing tape on the outside for a smooth finish. After it dries, color that spot black with a permanent marker or black paint. It should still match closely, even if you stripped the paint from the head and cold blued it with a chemical bluing agent. I used a marker, and have had it for years, still dark.

I hate when someone cuts down a tomahawk handle , it’s ok if its way over length but making them way short takes away your leverage of the tomahawk thats were all the strength is in the length of the handle , the heaviness of the head combined with length of the handle is what make the tomahawk work for you , instead you work for it with a short handle , length + heaviness = speed & more power behind the chop .

I use fire to customize my handles (propane torch). Just make a spiral burn from end to end, sand lightly, then oil stain finish. Fast, easy, cheap, and comes out very nice.

I'm curious as to what dye/stain you use to yield that beautiful shed of red on those handles.

PYRO GOTHICA thanks for the compliment! I use TransTint wood dye. It’s a special process I’ve learned to get the red I wanted. Unfortunately after awhile depending on how much you use your handle, it will fade some. Thanks for watching 😁👍 please go to my website to see more. www.montanabushandtool.com

Great vids. How do you prevent the stain from bleeding out from sweat or water? Is there a final coat of something? Cheers 👍

How come nobody welds up that crap set screw hole? Ruins the aesthetic.
