I've got the Francesca from CAS Iberia (as per Knifecenter link) - it's very light and fast with a nice OAL (about 18"). The shaft is quite thin so you'll need to bulk up the grip otherwise it feels like you're holding onto a pencil!
The steel seems fine, maybe a little on the soft side - I use it mainly for delivering the coup de grace on possums while doing pest control.
It's NOT a heavy duty hawk - I wouldn't be chopping with it. If you buyu one make sure it has a good eye/shaft fit.
One of things I didn't like is the upswept point - after punching through a possum's head, the point can sometimes get caught up. Nowadays my SOG Fusion Hawk with shoulder sheath is main main possum buster.
