Bought mine years ago, it was marketed and sold as a "floorers hawk" if I remember right.

Bought 2 in 2006, worn down and squared it up a couple of times. 16"er


Now 15"

Used to love the Emir yellow plastic hawks, even when you had a hawk-full of slippery-slidy browning or s&c on it, it wouldn’t slide off if you put it down.

Hated the handle on those emir hawks, they do wear in though, not enough girth for me*
