Riddle of Steel - Stainless Hei Matau

Description

After several attempts, my first success with a metal hook. 100% designed on the computer in 3d, then shipped off to a 3d printing lab and printed out in solid stainless steel with a copper wire wrap. Originally I was going have gold plated inlays but ditched the idea to keep the cost down.

Update: After receiving a good number of inquiries on everything from "can I take it in the water?" to "how much does it weigh?" to "if I boil it in chicken stock will the resulting broth go well with cucumber sandwiches?" I decided it would be best to add some more info.

a.What are the dimensions? 2" by 1 1/4"
b.How much does it weight? 31.6grams(or 6 nickels and a dime if you want to compare)
c.Are you going to sell it? YES! I am shooting for around 50 bucks(that nets me about 5 bucks per hook, 3d stainless printing is expensive, but Im cool with that, its more about the kick I get knowing someone digs my art enough to wear it than the money) I am planning on doing a batch order in the month of March. PM me if you are interested.
d.Does it go good with cucumber sandwiches? I would have to lean towards no. But to answer the other question, it is water proof.

If you have any other questions please PM me or ask on here. Thank you so much for all the comments and messages!

Update part 2: pre-order info is up in today's journal entry
