Hey guys. I just bought a CS trail hawk (still in the mail ) and I'm pretty set on a list of mods I'm going to do to it. I just have some questions.
1st:
Would hockey tape or para cord work better as a handle wrap? I'm a little biased towards hockey tape because it's easier to apply, lower profile, and would probably give a better grip (being rubber and all); but para cord just looks better. So is it worth it to go with paracord?
Also, any other suggestions for handle wraps would be appreciated.
2nd:
I plan on stripping the paint off the the head, but I'd like some form of corrosion resistance on there that isn't some form of paint. Blueing seems good, but I don't have the materials and it seems to be a bit of an in depth process. Any suggestions?
3rd:
Would I be able to melt beeswax onto the handle after I stained it? Or would that mess it up somehow?
4th:
Will I have to apply some form of glue or filling to the head when I slide it on? I know tomahawk heads have a friction fit; but being that this will be a fighting style 'hawk, I'd like to make sure the head is as tight as possible.
Thanks for the help in advance.
