You better hope you are! I know I am hoping nobody else chooses 10. it just makes yours more unique!
INFO! Badger and Blade 2020 LE Pipe : Askwith Pipes
- Thread starter Kentos
- Start date
The proof pipe weighs 45g but please don't rely on that too much, morta can vary in weight even more so than briar, some pipes could be over 50, some only in the 30's.
That's interesting...a much wider range then I expected. Morta is cool stuff.
I can’t weight to see the differences!

I am looking forward to seeing all the different pipe and stem combinations.
Will you explain what exactly a stepped stem is? Is it just extra length on the tenon? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
See how the stem doesn't meet flush with the shank? There is a gap there...as this is an Askwith (UK made) pipe we might be better off saying "mind the gap"

I guess having a longer tenon would prevent the stem form touching the the stummel so it would look like a stepped stem. So in that sense yes. However in this pipe it is a design choice, and the stepped portion is carved into the stem. If it was just the tenon being longer you would see the skinny piece in the gap, and it would look not so nice.

It would look like this early mock up if it were just a longer tenon
Thanks for the explanation! I see now... Crazy detail I’ve never seen before
I’ve received no email nor answers to my questions. Makes me worry a bit.
you'll be fine. he got close to 20 orders in a short amount of time and we're bombarding him with questions about the real color of the stems

It’s a one man operation Owen, give him some time
. He also has other commissions on going. I actually missed a email from Chris once cause Gmail Threading somehow marked it read.So far the only people who have received emails have been those who asked a question in their order email. No deposits have been taken yet as wanted to get the bulk of the orders in so I can start measuring up stem stock, ordering more if necessary or speaking to people about alternative choices.
You are down for a #7 stem as resquested in your email.
I am afraid I missed your question here about payment. Yes if you prefer to pay it all up front that is fine with me as long as Kent is happy too.
OK update.
Those who picked any colour except #4 should have received an email from me. I have set aside a piece of stem stock for them and am ready to take a deposit.
Those who have not decided on a colour or have asked a question about colours, check your email, I am waiting for a response. If you have not had an email, check your junk and maybe email me again as yours might have gone into my junk folder too.
Those who chose #4, please don't panic. I am out of stock currently, I have spoken to my supplier who have told me it shouldn't be a problem to get some though. I am not going to ask for your deposit until I actually have it in my hands. We still have a couple of weeks of ordering to go and I am now low on some other colours so will be waiting before placing my order.
Cheers.

Yes it is a pale Ivory colour with very subtle "grain" in it.
E mail sent, I think the Ivory and Black Morta will be very classy!
