Skip the tape altogether, I have a boot knife that needed something to give it a better grip so what I did is, I took some raw hide shoe laces & soaked them in water till they got soft & pliable , then I wrapped the knife grip by pulling & stretching the raw hide as I went . As the raw hide dries it shrinks and becomes REALLY tight & will NOT come off (if you needed the rawhide for some survival needs you could cut it & then unwrap the grip) This will not only make for a really good grip but it looks good too. Tape on the other hand looks amateurish but hey.... if you want a "ghetto grip" go for it.

I'm Novice at knife throwing. I've found that the center of blance is very near the edge of the para cord. However when held by the handle you feel a solid grip. I use a no spin throw and find the knive leaves the hand very smoothly with no drag on the handle as it leaves the hand as I would expect if the knife were handle heavy.

Answer here...It is a high carbon steel, the handle can be removed with effort to work the head. From head to heel it's a worthy hawk.

Yes it is actually I love it and am thinking of getting another one. The only thing is the para cord grip will loosen up. Easy fix.

a good wrap will end with pulling the end strings back threw the entire handle wrap and I started with a nice loop at the eye hole and have a couple a layers of para cord , just start the ends to the other side of your handle early for easy pull threw when done , I think I have about 20 feet wrapper

I havent tried throwing it, but my neighboor I showed it to who throws hawks said it would work well being thrown. Ive thrown too and think it would work well myself because its got some pretty good weight to it on the business end. But what I really like for throwing is the Cold Steel Norse hawk tomahawk.

John....make sure you tight the set screw. The head tends to move around. I have sort of torn up my handle. I have had a ball with this hawk. Sharpens nicely too.jm

Squeege works great. The bloody cable doesnt engage in the handle with any type of strength. I just use the squeege on a standard ram rod type barrel cleaner

I think something like Duck Brand 1100731 Select Grip Easy Liner would work better for non-slippage needs. We use this on the boat and it works great! It is not waterproof, but this allows for air circulation (on the boat that's a real plus - perhaps in a camper also).

I just spoke to Crimson Trace. They confirmed that new models of the SRH, including the Alaskan, do not fit this grip. There is no estimated date for repair. I'm sufficiently irritated by the handling of this matter that I will not purchase a Crimson Trace product of any type in the future.

nope. This brace is a game changer. I used it while playing hockey never an issue

well in my opinon the norse hawk by cold steel throws well the head has a point so even if you over rotate it should stick. but i find that all my cold steel hawks throw well. i have the trench hawk norse hawk trail hawk and frontier hawk

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

No sheath supplied, but, there is a thin nylon one available for under $5. I eventually made my own out of leather. Have fun with it! The 'hawk is a monster.

What's the damage? If it's to the squishy grip, there's probably not much they can do because it would require disassembly of all the parts that are riveted onto the bar through the grip material. However, if that's your issue, I did a pretty nice looking repair of my single BOB where the grip got torn using tennis racquet grip. (You can pick up raquet grip at just about any sporting goods store.) I just wrapped the whole thing. It looks nice, and is less prone to tears compared to the original material.

I haven't, but the handle is garbage. This is not a tough piece of equipment. I have a CRKT hawk and it is awesome, I would recommend this to everyone!

No, it is not. Like other hawks, the handle is oval shaped. You might be able to shape the end with a sander, but I think it would take a lot of work. Much easier to buy a couple extra handles from Cold Steel.
