I bought this one from a friend to have it customized.

Man, I heard some stories about the finish on this one, but when I got it, it was even worse than I expected. Looked like someone threw a bucket of green paint over the hawks.


So first thing I did was remove the coarse finish and gave it a satin finish.

The handle was sanded smooth, and spray painted black.

The head was lightlly reshaped.

And I gave it a dual tone (olive-black) cord wrap to finish it up.

I have two that I need that done to. I was not sure that they were worth doing anything to. How does the edge preform now? Did you have to re-treat it?
