Pictures of my Rodgers' Rangers Spike 'hawk

[Rev. Pete]

Here are a couple of pictures of this beauty. Mine has the mirror polished perimeters and the sharpened hooking edge. I remember when I was trying to decide on this 'hawk I wished there were more pictures. This is my contribution. Please feel free to email me if you want the original hi resolution pictures .

WOW!!!The wrap was a great idea!I like the sharp hook and the polished edges.
Andy, what are we looking at price wise to get that done to mine?....would have ordered it, if it was available when I bought mine.

What do u do to keep the cord from sliding off the handle...?I'm a cord wrapping idiot so i don't have the vocabulary...

I start by putting the sheath on the tomahawk for safety. That sharpened hooking edge is... sharp ! I start with about twelve feet of paracord. I lay the paracord along the handle with one end about 6" longer than the handle so it makes a loop near the top of the area I want wrapped. I take the other end and start wrapping the handle from the bottom over top of the two cords. I keep the coils tight and the two cords that are running along the handle are kept parallel and straight under the wrap. I wrap up to just below the loop then tuck the free end into the loop (cutting it down to 2-3") then pull the other end of the cord with a pair of pliers. It takes a LOT of pulling. This pulls the loop and takes the free end under the wrap. It effectively locks it into place. I hope this makes sense. If it is not clear I can post some pictures of the process.
