| Hawkbill / Donkeynut
|  |
The Hawkbill is an enlarged Ball/Tomato style with a long, tapering bent shank. The premiere Hawkbill, the Castello 84, is nicknamed the Donkeynut (for reasons we won't get into here).
The shank has a smooth curve starting at the bottom of the bowl and ending even with the top of the bowl. The stem follows the curve and taper of the shank. Both stem and shank taper evenly throughout their length, maintaining a circular cross-section right up to the bit.
Some pipe makers have Hawkbill pipes with more radical, abrupt bends in the shank and nearly straight stems.
