OK guys. The other day I decided to rework my CS trailhawk(I was bored). I already stripped the black coating and stained the handle a nice red oak color and had desert camo p-cord on it. Took the cord off, cut the handle down to 13", rewrapped the lower 1/3 with black p-cord and gave the head a mustard patina. Turned out better then I expected. Now for the crappy part. I thought well how bout some brass tacks? started out tapping some in in a nice star pattern down the handle. Used 14 tacks on each side. I was pritty proud of myself until... I looked real close and it seems I cracked the handle. Guess I placed them too close together. All this detailed work for nothing. So now I'm gonna throw it till the handle breaks. Question I have is should I order more CS handles or look somewhere else? My intentions is to use it for a camp hatchet. Not throwing.
