I stripped the ugly handle coating off and burned the rings on it and also added a brass plug into the hole where the screw used to be. it is all friction fitted now. The coating on the head is not the typical ugly shiny paint and actually looks like fire scale and there are temper colors on some parts of this hawk along with the fact it seems to hold a better edge than my CS viking hand axe does. I am very happy with this axe after getting it and doing my mods. Cold Steel seems to have stepped it up a notch if my hawk I have now is typical of the new ones.

I've heard that CS has changed their finish but this is the first I've seen. Looks great. Congratulations.

Very nice! Always loved the CS Norse Hawk, and yours is beautiful.
