In my youth, I picked up an old cold steel Vietnam tomahawk. Something possessed me to cut off the spike and it sat idol for a great many years in my parents barn.
I recently reclaimed the old girl and decided to give her a new lease on life.
I fired up my forge and hammered out a new spike. (I apologize in advance as I have no pics of the spikeless hawk or its forged spike prior to instalation.) I fired up my welder and put my ancient sin to rest by making my hawk whole again.
A spackle of paint later and here are the results.

Why did you cut it off? Take camping with the boy scouts or doing mountain man rendezvous? Just curious. Restoration looks good.

Nearly 20 odd years later I couldn't tell you. Dumb in my youth I guess.
I'm stripping the green off and looking to clean it up a little more. Stay tuned.
