Were they named after Mike Hosaluk from Scotland right up in the tip of Scotland he came here and I spent three days with others being taught by him forever ago. Like your idea Alex.

I made some of those for people at the club, it seems silly they are not sold here, their loss.

I wonder if the epoxied part should be grooved or knurled to grip in handle better
just a thought whilst in design stage
maybe even a coarse thread

me and metalwork don't mix so i could be talking gibberish
guestimate on costs?
