Christmas Present for Dad

JustMorty · Nov 20, 2011

Hey all, I'm new and just barely signed up today.

I must say the reason for signing up was to see all the awesome Tomahawk ideas you guys have. I thought I would post some pics of the one I am doing for my Dad for Christmas. I used a Cold Steel Pipe Hawk since has the vintage look and design. Stripped the paint of and re-finished the handle. I also got a wood burner and burned some basic stuff into the handle. Anyway, Tell me what you think.

Any Dad would be thrilled with such a special gift. One of my all time favorites was the box of flies my son made me one Christmas.

Very nice gift nice work....Your Dad will love it !

Congratz!

My dad would also like it... But I think, he personally would prefer a pimped chainsaw... but he would be glad about such cool stuff!

Kind regards
Andi

Great minds think alike! I'm making one for each of my parents, acid etched blades and all.

JustMorty · Nov 28, 2011

After finding directions on here I though about etching the blade but not sure if I trust myself enough yet to try, This is my first hawk mod. I did think about using a dremmel to carve initials into the blade.

I'm trying it out, first time. I'm using muriatic acid and I either suck at the process or I'm doing something terribly wrong.
