Cold steel Trail Tomahawk

I have read some good things about the Cold Steel Trail Tomahawk in various places on the net, so I have bought myself one.

But...I don't like the cheap black paint, or whatever they used on the handle, or the screw hole on the side of the head, so I am going to mod it a bit!

First steps: I removed the black paint, scrapped the handle and welded the hole up! Better already.

I did a bit of filling around all the edges to soften them a little bit, particularly around the eye, where those sharp edges were damaging the handle.






This is going to be an on-going project. The mods I want are: filework on the head, modify the handle a bit, minimal shortening on the ends of the handle a to remove the lathe marks. Some pewter decorations, and darkening the wood as well, finally age it a bit.

Stay tuned!
