Holy "Molle"! Out-freakin-standing! You Sir are an artist! Nicely done
Good stuff, as usual, Josh. I own a similar hawk. I was cautioned to remove the set screw that holds the head in place; evidently, after some decent shock, it will crack around the set screw. I ended up lashing mine.
Felt like I was watching one of those ASMR videos. It was just relaxing just watching you doing your thing. You obviously must had done this a few times. You made look easy even though in reality if I was in the same situation I wouldn’t have a clue where to start. Great work. 👍
That sheath came out tricked, I made a simple one for my crkt shogun t-hawk. I just covered the bladed half and added a piece of cordage to secure it over the end of the handle. It's snug as a bug. Man what a shop, thanks for sharing.
Very cool! I think you just won the internet! Great video..... I picked up the rifle hawk a few years ago, with the intent to modify it. Well, now I am certainly inspired. Thank you!
Much fun, thanks for letting us see that come together.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels
COMPLETELY Agree..
Excellent work!👍 Thanks for the show.
Man that shit is fucking fire! Im a huge cold steel fan and a woodsman to boot. That is an amazing mod man. The rifleman hawk is a beast to begin with bit you mad it perfect. That's something to be proud of and to bring home supper.
Very neat how you put the para cord wrap on. I learned a couple tricks so thank you!!!
I dig your workshop!
Thanks for sharing.
That's some damn fine work. Thanks for showing the process.
Nice vid. No need to melt the ends of the paracord. By not melting the ends of the wrap you can access the internal strands easier if you need them - It can't fray as it is whipped on tightly :)
Never understood why people put thick wrapped handles on tomahawks. One of the biggest advantages of a hawk is that you can slide the head off and use it as a hand knife for fine work.
casey b and certainly can’t throw it with cord wrapped around it.
some people dont throw them and use them for chopping my hands sweat i wrap every handle in tarred bank line besides my 627 357 mag
You should sell these blade covers/holster set ups..I’d buy it that’s badass
Outstanding craftsmanship!!! Inspiring.
Thanks for sharing and I appreciate the details in the description. Subscribed.
Very cool, super informative. I am going to start building a shop in my garage at the start of 2019 , so glad/lucky i was one of the last generations of kids that took wood & metal shop in middle school.
Such a good experience "back in the day". Home Ec. and Shop lessons have been incredibly helpful over the years. Fewer and fewer can afford a swank shop as we move "forward" as well. Crappification. I feel so bad for kids raised these days. I have an adult son, and the difference in conditions and education is striking.
I know, sham they don’t have wood shop anymore 😭
Cool project. More like two in one video. I like the boiling water trick. Not only will the cord shrink, but I imagine that you fused the outer sheath except you did it without flame and gained the advantage of the water's heat.
I love my wicked edge! nice seeing the attention to detail!
That sheath is awesome. Everything locks up with a satisfying snap. This video earns a like, a subscribe, a sua sponte, and a de oppresso liber.
I got a kydex sheath with a custom made knife I bought and never really got to use it, because the Tec-loc got into my side . With a kydex bent over clip, like you made wouldn't be a problem. Nice work.
nice job, great workmanship
Great video. I really like watching videos like this showing how craftsmen create useful and imaginative products. I’m a new subscriber. Glad I found you. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome!
Outstanding work on the molle sheath. I suggest the black paint on the head is too shiny and the label as well. If you took a file to the head you could make a couple of spots to strike against a rod as an alternative. I found the screw in the head kept digging a deeper hole as I used it. I embedded a piece of tight steel with a drop of JB Weld in the hole. Fixed it right up. Locktighted the threads. At about 2.5+ lbs, probably the lightest 'Hawk to be found. The head is a great hand tool for small work and even dressing game. Great looking and well equipped shop. I'm jealous. Thanks for the videos.
I ground the hammer down about half on one of mine so it fits in the alice hawk pouch. Great tool
Man you have one Hell of a workshop!!
Excellent job, skills and craftsmanship, congratulation.
That was fun! Especially the buffer wheel cam. I'mma go take some Dramamine. Lol
Lol when you were sanding first thing in the video I just about spit my coffee out from laughing. I thought dam , women would like this guy with hands that fast lol.
You can sand REALLY FAST!! Very nice work!
Just found your channel. Awesome content! Subscribed!
You have mad skills bro. Cheers!!
Great channel!
I am a complete grey beard, at 46.;; and it grows fast!
GA.
Thanks!
I'm 3/4 gray beard at 38...and yes, one year growing a beard is about 10 inches! keep the beards alive !!
Nice work and a very nice, well equipped shop!...woods
Absolutely brilliant!!
Wicked cool shop!
Nice piece of work too.
That was awesome!!
Wow Nice work. I didn't see where you were going with it until the very end now that looks beautiful. GOD BLESS.
Actions speak louder then words..good vid, great job on the sheath. The Tomahawk looks awesome and appears to have a solid/super sharp blade after you got done with it. At this point i would say "Id like to be ur neighbor". I had to subscribe, thx again for sharing the vid!
Thanks for the sub!
Skills+Tools= Awesomeness!! 👍🔥
Sweet setup!
That's badass. I'd like to see someone do something similar for their Trail Boss. Obviously you wouldn't want it hanging from a belt since it's handle is too long, but similar-ish....
Great shop.... Wish I had the space for all of those goodies. :)
Nice shop and project.
G'day mate, the trail hawk is a nice bit of gear but the pipe hawk is a fair bit better when it come to chopping for not much more weight. Give it a go you will be both surprised and pleased.
If you are going to use it like an axe (hacking), the pipe hawk is outstanding.
With the Trail Hawk, you need to use more of a pecking method. With proper technique, they will process wood at about the same rate.
Wow man Nice skills 🤛🏽 !!!
Nice work grey!
Beautifuly done!
Excellent work sir
Wow perfect work! ... Congrats for your super cool channel!
Nice work! That's very cool.
Thanks!
Wow! Another Great video, excellent instruction and information, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Strength and Honor
God Bless
That was a really nice job.
Sure is a pretty rig. Great job!
Great work
Just take my money! I want, I want! Definitely one of my favorite channels.
Nice work!
Really nice work
Huh. Nice work. I'm going to use that trick with boiling water and paracord. It reminds me of how people used to shrink rawhide. The handle did seem a little long to me too.
I'm kind of surprised that you didn't find a way to just drill out the end of the handle to incorporate a ferro rod there. Maybe a longer one too. If the head is carbon steel you could just use it to strike the ferro rod if there was a sharp 90 degree corner ground onto it somewhere. Drilling a hole like that into the end grain of hickory would be a little tricky unless you did it on a lathe. Cutting threads into end grain could be problematic. Maybe a nut and some epoxy? Or a diamond hone rod incorporated into the handle like that would also be super sexy. Anyway, maybe that idea will help someone on something. 👍
It's a beautiful thing. The mind at work.
Wonderful sheath ❗️ I want one 😊
Nice job!!!!
Love this idea dude, I just remade a sheath for one of my personal sheaths.
Really cool! I used to do kydex, still have all my stuff, but I tend to only do stuff for myself these days.
Amazing, got a new subscriber.
Luv your shop
New to your channel, heck of a shop!!
Awesome nice mods and work brother!
Thanks, brother! I wish I had made this for me. Really happy with it.
Amazing

Thank you!
NICE!!!!
Great work man
...
Thanks!
Impressive
You are a true ninja
Joshua- Great Work as Usual...and BTW Nice Shop
Thanks! I had a lot of room in that shop.
Where did you purchase the sharpening system that you used to sharpen your tomahawk I would like to get one.
Hey, what is that sharpening system your using and where can I find one, looks great. I also have the Trail Hawk, its been a good hawk for many years. But I'm upgrading to the Riflemen's hawk. Better cutting edge. Any idea what angle yo uput on your hawk?
Very, very nice.
There's a reason for the long handles on a "hawk"! To cut it down takes away some of the weapon's defensive capibilitys, as well as taking away the leverage the longer handle gives when using it to chop. The little short handled ones are cute, and seem to sell well, but I'd sure rather take a long handled one, with the proper skills of how to use it down range.
All that said; the quick draw set up he designed is top shelf. Can't say I've ever see a better one. And I totally agree, he needs to try marketing these! And maybe get with some ol school knuckle dragger who knows to ins and outs of how a tomahawk is properly employed.
In the hands of the right person this is one of the best defensive tools ever devised. Even the martial arts types have trouble defending against it.
I love this video
Very good
very nice job. I have recently got the bug and have made kydex systems for the kangee, chogan (wood), my first two tries at working with thermal plastics. I got such great responses on them I have started adding kydex to anything I can find. I plan to get very good and aquire all the tools I need to start producing sheaths holsters vape modes ect. locally. I would appreciate and pointer you would be willing to pass on to someone who looks at as a Craftsman not just stamping out the same old $4i+. thank you for you time.
Yeah buddy, had I guy show me how to make my first holster in Afghanistan, then when I got home I got all the stuff and started cranking stuff out. It got to be a challenge to keep up with filling orders so I stopped retailing and just started making stuff for myself and my friends. Learned more each time I made something new. Would be happy to help in any way I can. Find me on Facebook under Joshua Enyart.
What brand is the sharpener you use at the beginning of the video?
Thanks for the Video. What is the Sharpening System you used? I use both stones and the Lansky, first time I saw yours in action.
do you heat the kydex before you put it in the press or are you just using the force of the clamping
Its heated to around 190 degrees F (varies on the thickness of the Kydex)
Now that is too cool! new sub here, I have never seen kydex molded before!
Thanks for the sub!
What the name of your blade sharpener you use at the first of this video pls? Thanks
It’s cool. But I can’t help but think those lumber jack style axe holders that loggers wear vertically behind the back would be just as good. At least with this you can wear a backpack in conjunction with it. With the vertical style, however, you can fit a full size felling axe.
Also, how come no one puts a metal guard strip to protect the neck right under the head anymore? I understand that with a hatchet you’re less likely to miss but you also have less diameter of wood remaining if you do.
Thumbs up!!!
Clark
Very nice! After shortening it - does it still fly well enough to throw it?
Wowza awesome
How long was the handle after the cut?
does anybody make glass filled nylon or any other replacement handles for these tomahawks?
Looks great. Ever consider making the tassel a set of Ranger beads?
Sir, the bolling water on the paracord. Does it make it tighter? Great video! Thank you for the sacrifices you have made and the great knowledge you share. Would love to learn more about your survival classes.
Thanks! It does, yes. It shrinks the nylon a bit and makes it snug. All my classes at the moment are listed on my website flintsteelcsg.com. I also teach at the Pathfinder courses which are in selfrelianceoutfitters.com
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret outstanding! Looking forward. B safe. Thank you again.
