i designed a kind of funky one that wouldn't break the bank. TOPS makes them for me.
the ECO Hawk. - don't laugh too hard at me

, ...besides a decent
small knife and
hand axe/adz/scraper thingy ...it works and its also a harpoon and a mini-hawk and a pick, and whatever else ya wanna do with such a small tool.
i was trying to make something that was completely practical with no gimmicks, but folks might not feel that way,
which i can completely understand before they use it.
it's
7.1 Ounces bare,
1075 zone-hardened 3/16" steel stock, 7 inches long, 2 inches wide at the widest points, with a
comfy 1" width at the narrowest part of the waist, which is sized to
comfortably index small or large hands over the Center of Mass, for efficient handling
we are going to make a bunch of composite accessories for it, but i designed it so
folks could personalize them with their own improvised hafts or custom scales.
after seeing this thread, i don't feel like it is so strange after all!

:thumbup:
some of these things red-line my geek meter.
