Here, I appeal to the inventive and creative among you. I've long been fascinated with the fact that men would, in the midde of distant oceans, throw a
harpoon into the backs of the largest creatures on the planet, whales, while riding in a flimsy, cedar planked boat. Many years ago I made a bunch of small
harpoons to amuse myself, but it seems that I'm at it again - that I'm rereading Moby Dick for the third or fourth time may have more to do with it
than imagination. So, I spent an evening making a harpoon point with a tang - not how harpoons were made. It's made from 3/16" 1095, and the tip
meas. 2 3/4" x 1 3/8", with an oal of 5 1/2". I've already rejected ideas of a push dagger, or handling it as a typical knife; war clubs
are not for me either. I'm open to even the most outrageous ideas, providing I can pull it off - any thoughts? thanks, RC
