these are the new tools.
6061 aluminum core covered in structural foam on the lower handle
and uncovered on the upper but all covered by 2-3 layers of carbon fiber.
Pick is from a nomic. I have a CAD model for these and one that will
accept a grivel X-Monster Pick, which is going to be cut on a waterjet
shortly. I'll put some pictures up of them soon. These tools were used for
a week in the adirondacks and around my home. Weight is 1lb 10 ounces
(about 730 grams)for these complete. next ones will be lighter.
The Grivel one will be cut on the waterjet around march 20th!
