Byron, Is it one of those pila with a colet integral to the iron shank? If so beware of throwing it too much. I once bought one of those in a souvenir shop and after throwing it around for about 5 times I had to stop because I could tell it was going to break...

This is what I mean by the colet being integral to the shank: [Image: 115PDSP159F.jpg]
