Winkler tomahawk: KG or non-glare finish?

[VolundoftheForge]

At this point I'm leaning for Caswell and textured micarta. Thanks guys. Feel free to keep posting your thoughts though!

I had one with the rubber handle and I really liked it.

The one I kept is micarta and aaa handle material it is one of my favorites

I love the design but I think if I bought one I'd end up putting it in a safe deposit box for my kids to sell when I'm gone.

Anyone have pics of the different finishes? I don't see them on the website just the options.

While we're looking at them, aren't these a good candidate for drop forging, decreasing the man hours to make one? Or what about casting them, that'd have to make them much more affordable. (I know some people think castings are weaker, but doesn't ruger cast all of their firearms, I never hear anything about them blowing up).

I see this is a resurrected post-Hope Winkler doesn't read this and decide to start casting his Hawks . Eventually I'd like to pick up one.
