Love doing more on these CS Hawks, fun hobby and a usable tool when done. All heads are nicely friction fit, base patinas are hot vinager with a cold blue design. Heads are rasped and handles trimmed, razor sharp convex edges (too sharp). Handles are burnt and buffed with hand rubbed linseed oil. Easy winter projects! Anyone else doing any Hawk mods?
 
Love it.

I am contemplating buying a CS hawk and working on it as a gift for my dad. Maybe for Christmas and give myself plenty of time.

May I ask how you stripped the black finish off of the heads?
 
I'm assuming you've seen the sticky, 'Modding the Cold Steel Trail Hawk'.

I used Kleen strip, came off in 15minutes
