If I were to take a double weapon, such as a monk's spade, and make one end out of adamantine, and the other out of mithral, how much would it weigh? What would it's hit points and hardness be? How much does it cost?
In short, how do double weapons interact with the special material rules, exactly?
Each side is price seperately.
As for the weight I can assume one it would 25% less, but that assumes both sides are normally the same weight which is reasonable.
The hit points might be an issue assuming you can even use to materials.

well, if we assume that it is currently balanced, (where both ends weight the same thing.) say that the handle is made out of wood, so the handle would be, 1lbs (rounded up.) and the weapon ends would be 11lbs. cut that in half to where each end weights 5.5lbs.
The Adamantine side would still be 5.5lbs, however the Mithral side would be 2.75. In that case, you would have to add additional weight to the Mithral side somehow to balance it out.
Since you are only turning half the weapon into Adamantine, it should be only half of the 3000g, however even a single dagger being changed to Adamantine would be 3000g. the Mithral side 2750g. i would say that the additional 2.75lbs that you would need to add to the Mithral side would be free. so your total amount should be 5750g (or if you can get the 50% discount on the Adamantine, it would be 4250g)
Since you have to keep both sides balanced, the weight would be the same.
The Mithral side would have a Hardness of 15, and the Adamantine side would have a Hardness of 20.
we don't have the size of each side, so i can't figure out the HP
Each side is price separately.
And if one end is made of cold iron, what is the price of the whole weapon?
The hit points might be an issue assuming you can even use to [sic?] materials.
Weapons and armor can be crafted using materials that possess innate special properties. If you make a suit of armor or weapon out of more than one special material, you get the benefit of only the most prevalent material. [i]However, you can build a double weapon with each head made of a different special material.

Cold Iron is a 2000g + the price of the weapon. so that depends on which side you make cold iron, it would either be 1000g cheaper or 750g cheaper.
All of the prices for special materials are listed here, all you need to do is use a bit of math.
Cold Iron makes the weapon cost double, Amsheagar. But you are only making half the weapon cold iron, so how much of an increase are you applying? Do you double the price of the WHOLE double weapon, or only half?
There is a LOT of ambiguity in this area of the rules.
