Snow Slick for tomahawk head works well

[ohen cepel]

Got this idea to use teflon spray paint from Forty Blade who used a similar product on his machetes. This version is made for snow blowers so I was able to find it locally for $8 or so.

It's a graphite spray paint. Gives you a black powder coating look. Tactical in appearance, not traditional. Will blue the ones I want to keep traditional in appearance.

Put it on a CS Trailhawk a few days back and ran it through it's paces today. I was worried that it would flake off or wear too quick. However, after a short test (50 whacks or so into green hard wood) it is holding up well and does seem to let it cut a bit better. More than anything it doesn't seem to get stuck nearly as much which is nice.

Gives a nice look and does seem to improve performance a bit. Worth a try if you can get it where you are and want a black powder finish.

Thanks for the heads up I might try to look around for something like that for my hawk.

Got my can at Lowes but think most hardware places that sell snow blowers would carry it.

Any pics of the hawk in question with this finish?
