I think the the black wrapped diamond stadia is mine- just got my notice from Erica! Looks well worth the wait! I've been thinking about a shorty ever since I saw the Bug head and now that I see one, I know what's next on the list.
Do these come with the plugs? Also, is there a reason for the blind top on the shorty, or just something different?
I really like the way you blend up-to-the-minute technology and creativity with something so primitive and traditional. It reminds me of Ed Fowler's knives- but he goes traditional on the handle and high tech with the blade (although I guess with the Bug heads youre getting around to the blade too now).
Way "outside the box" and way cool- keep up the good work!
yep, that's your Diamond Stadia, brother.
sorry it took so long to get that good Comanche color material back in. it is really good stuff IMHO.
the plugs are on order, we will have them for ya, don't worry. make sure you crank them down a little if you take them out and put them back in. a good smack of the hawk makes them shoot out and kill cats.
'just awful.
something about hawks and felines....
the blind end just gives the hawk a lower profile on top, while still allowing storage for your Tequila
...er! - firestarter! inside the hawk, on the Dirty Little Comanche BUG. the cap is made to be drilled right through so you can make it a true Through Tube at any time, you just have to be careful doing it, going right down the center of the tube with a small drill bit, then cleaning it out to the circumference of the inside of the tube with a rat tail file or something similar. the cap material shapes beautifully, but it is tough to bore out by hand. i haven't standardized the end caps yet - i've got something hard core i want to do on them.
i am doing this
spiral kinda thing with the handle development - separating designs, then hybridizing them at the next level - the short one is close to what i want for the
Sectionals top section, so eventually i hope to have all the hawk heads be removable from other handle sections while keeping a useful length of haft integral to them, so you always have a no BS hatchet handy, without construction involved.
i also want to add some other goodies to the hawks - a lot of goodies actually, but only useful features. and maybe a Death Ray. just one Death Ray....

enjoy your
Diamond Stadia Gen 1 Mk 4 C BUG, brother.
i absolutely love it.
