Long description:

Black sweat seems to ooze from this bow, only thin strips of leather in the handle keep your hands from touching the noxious surface. It is made of black locust, wood known for its extreme hardness, but also for its poisonous nature. Very, very thin strips of adamantium seem to be reinforcing the structure, separating the belly from the back of the bow and aiding in giving the magnificent cast such a bow can have. It is actually deflex structure, the reflex on the recurve is almost parallel to the handle, the natural tiller seems perfect as anything as you draw it to your anchor. It feels lighter than it actually is, but you are certain the speed, that the bow promises, is certainly there.
