here is a hook !/2 diamond hybrid, or a slightly offset diamond...it still needs finish work, but the shaping is done..as far as the bade of the pick i modeled the shape after a ww2 stiletto ,
to gain every last bit if strength out of the stainless..
what do you guys think..?
the little bump on the handle aids a great deal in pin manipulation .

That's the kind of pick I like...something with some heft to it.

Good job, let's see a vid of it in action when done.

wwII us miltary uk purchase :william rodgers stiletto designed to kill. (blade is long enough to penetrate into vital organs,but thin and sharp enough to silp easily between the ribs
engraving on hilt reads "i cut it my way"
(the KA-BAR was not yet implemented,so many american soldiers bought superior british steel
during ww2)

Ahh yes....the great 1918 knuckle duster...I used to discretely stash one of these in my eqpt bag behind the security desk at work.

Whip that bad boy out and even Joe the Crackhead thought twice about getting in your face.

thats cause americans are lazy in production. ;)
which is why we have so much pride for our nation :P

and why almost everything is made in another country.... mostly china 8-)
