Fold Saws
Our harpoons are made as a set with a Norsaq (throwing stick). We carve our harpoon shafts we do not turn them on a lathe. As a result they are not perfect, but they are made with care to preserve function. Each harpoon shaft is cut and carved from the best quality materials currently available. I oftern use basswood, oak, ash, cherry, and others. The shaft of our standard harpoons tapers from a 2" to 1" diameter. Standard harpoons are around 5'6"long. Length varies based on material density and style. When ordering specify the balance point desired. A harpoon with the throwing stick centered to balance the harpoon will result in a "line drive" throwing trajectory. A throwing stick mounted with the harpoon nose heavy will result in a "mortar" trajectory.
