Double Diamond Spears

-The Making Of A Fishing Spear-

 

All of the Double Diamond Spears and S&W Saws are hand-crafted one piece at a time and not mass produced in a factory.  Because our spears and saws are individually made, we are able to pay more attention to detail and we are able to insure that you will receive a high-quality product.

All of the spears are made from cold finish steel components that are custom cut on a water-jet or flow-jet.  Next, they are precisely welded and hand ground and polished with a painted finish.  The heads are 1/4 inch thick cold finish steel plate.  The tines are 1/4 inch cold finish steel rounds.  The barbs are made from 1/4 inch cold finish steel plate which are welded to the tines and hand-sharpened, ground and polished.  The tines are then welded into a slot that is 1 inch back into the head of the spear.  The shaft is also 1/2 inch solid cold finish steel rounds and welded into a slot 1 1/2 inches back in the head.  the shaft also carries through the cone that holds the wooden handle 10 inches up into the handle.  The handle is then epoxy glued and pinned with a brass pin.  The rope is fastened into a hole that is end bored and counter bored on the side for easy replacement if necessary.

The chisels are also made from 5/8 inch thick cold finish steel, the shafts are solid 5/8 inch cold finish steel round, welded into a slot 1 1/2 inches back into the body of the chisel.  The shaft also carries through the cone 10 inches up into the wooden handle.  The handle is then epoxy glued and pinned with a stainless steel pin.

All handles on the spears and chisels are made from solid wood that is hand turned on a lathe.  The standard wood selections offered are Oak, Ask, Maple, Cherry, and Mahogany (other select woods are offered at an additional charge, Curly Tiger Maple, Birds-Eye Maple, Black Walnut, Rose-Wood, Bacote, Zebra Wood, Bubinga, Etc. at current market rates).

Our ice saws are also custom cut on the water-jet and made from cold finish steel.  These are a true saw and not just a chipper or ripper like the saws sold in big box stores.
