All kevlar poi
The heads are a regular circular "lanyard" knot (Ala Salza Fire Gear's "Isis" style) done around the knot that secures the body to the head, which is why they have a pear shape.
The body is secured to the bottom of the head with a slipknot. The handles, for the time being, are oyster knots; they weigh enough to keep tosses clean, but either don't weigh enough or aren't large enough for effective wibbling.
The heads have fiberglass core; the bodies/handles have aramid (Better tensile strength; whether that helps them last longer, we'll see).
Over all I love this design and similar ones I came up with. I'm really fond of rope as a material for poi. The big draw back is that if the handle breaks, they're not really replaceable. C'est la vie.
