At the top I start with a clove hitch and tuck the end under. Then I melt the end so it bonds with the line. Then I just start doing half hitches the whole way down and it creates the appearance of the second layer, and the functionality of the better grip. I finish it by running it through the lanyard hole, and the tracing it through the last half hitch and again melting the end. I pull it super tight after every hitch and by the end I usually have blisters.

I have owned several hawks over the years and to date, the Cold Steel ones are the best ones I have owned personally. I had the chance to meet the creators of Cold Steel and those guys are tops. I also like TOPS products but, my Cold Steel has never let me down no matter the situation so, I haven't had the need to change yet. But I might very well give TOPS a look and see what I can see. hoooyah
The Laguna Tomahawk I have is the only one I found with an NSN number.
I figure if Spec Ops guys can chop their way into cars with them, I'd never hurt mine.
Just out of curiosity, and not because I actually cut myself on it or anything... Just "how sharp" should a hawk be? And if I did, hypothetically speaking, manage to cut myself while cleaning up the edge on one, would it then be considered a blade in the same fashion as a knife?

I try for as sharp as possible. Makes you have to resharpen more often, however the sharper the better if a undesirable ever needs attention. Thats just my opinion, my pipe hawk is pretty close to being able to easily shave. Its worth the extra effort.
Ok. So getting a thin slice akin to a paper cut when you barely graze a knuckle against the edge is a good thing then. Cool. I'll own that one then.

That is a very good thin IMHO. Like I said the fine edge is more likely to dent and dull, but that's what sharpeners are for.
Btw I got the edge started for u jk.
