I filled in the set screw holes in my Cold Steel Hawks, and thought I'd share how I did it.
First, I removed the set screws. After that, I removed the handles, stripped the heads and cold blued them, then put some regular Scotch tape on the outside of the holes. Then I filled in the holes from the inside with JB Weld, and trimmed the excess.
After curing, I sanded the surface of the JB Weld filled holes, and I used a black or grey marker to match the color more closely. Then all that was left to do was re-haft them.
I included pics in the other places I've posted, but it's not as easy to post pics here, so my apologies for the lack of visual material. It's easy to do, and you don't he have to look at the stupid screw or have it chewing up the wooden handle. Hope maybe this will help someone.
