Captain Barbosa Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 We will be offering real pirate hooks in a few different styles soon, not PVC or Halloween costume toys but Real hand crafted hooks. I will have a page posted soon with images and specs. If you would like any info now, contact me at FullMoon@joink.com
El Pirata Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I was thinking you were talking about the company Cold Steel selling hooks now. I would probably be interested in a hook though, probably better if it was chrome plated. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
Captain Barbosa Posted December 11, 2004 Author Posted December 11, 2004 There will be several different types from weathered authentic look to palated.
Capt. Morgan Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I was thinking you were talking about the company Cold Steel selling hooks now. Whew! Thank goodness someone else thought the same thing I was ! ! I was just thinking it was about time I picked up a new knife... Barbosa, you should post some pics when you have a hook ready. That sounds intriguing! Touche' Ship's Marksman & Crab Fiend Pyrates of the Coast "All the skill in the world goes out the window if an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." "Florida points like a guiding thumb, To the southern isles of rumba and rum, To the mystery cities and haunted seas, Of the Spanish Main and the Caribbees..."
Captain Barbosa Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 Aye, will definatly have at least one version posted soon. I figure on having weathered, blued and chrome. Captain Macnamara has seen one(raw, no sleeve added) won't be much longer.
Captain_MacNamara Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 aye, and I've made up me mind to lose a hand... wonder if I could pass a hook off as a parrying weapon... ("What's your weapon style, M'Lord?" "Schlager an 'ook, sez I!") Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Captain Barbosa Posted December 19, 2004 Author Posted December 19, 2004 No reason ta hack off any parts, we put a ring in the cup for ya ta hold on to. Got a page up just as an intro, we'll have a couple up before too long. Simple model first with others ta follow. url is The Iron Hook
Captain_MacNamara Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 I meant my persona was going to "lose a hand"... hehe meaning I really want a hook, LOL Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Captain Barbosa Posted December 19, 2004 Author Posted December 19, 2004 Won't be much longer, the holidays are slowing us down a bit. Witch were you most interested in, distressed or plated? There will be several finishes and sleeve types. I'll post more info on the site about them soon, kind of wanted to wait until I can post photos along with the descriptions.
Captain_MacNamara Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 Distressed fer me... most of my stuff looks better as "well used" Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
HarborMaster Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 I am interested in a Hook that "Wont Rust" in an exetremely Humid enviroment.., perhaps a Brass., and a side note.,Are you going to form them or cast them? I am not Lost .,I am Exploring. "If you give a man a fire, he will be warm for a night, if you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life!"
Captain Barbosa Posted December 20, 2004 Author Posted December 20, 2004 They are all hand forged, not casted. The only ones that will be least likley to rust would be the plated ones. Same as a sword blade.
HarborMaster Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Brass could be heated and worked into a nice piece., Cast was a question I was curious on just because at 5.00 an ounce (50.00 bones for a 10 oz bar) the material cost is still reasonable for silver...,for the finished product Just think on it for a moment., a Silver Hook., now theres a piece of treasure for a chest ! I am not Lost .,I am Exploring. "If you give a man a fire, he will be warm for a night, if you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life!"

Got a page up just as an intro, we'll have a couple up before too long. Simple model first with others ta follow.url is The Iron Hook Well what ifin ya need a real one? Me ships cook only has one hand and has a real hook. But is always looking for a nice fancy one. -------------- "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty well preserved piece without an even a kiss your hand, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, smelling of powder, shouting ARRRG!!"
Captain_MacNamara Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 One thing we 'aven't cleared up... roughly how much are these going to cost? Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Captain Barbosa Posted December 22, 2004 Author Posted December 22, 2004 That will depend on which version and what if any design work (your mark or colors) is done to the sleeve. Pricing won't be any different than that of most swords, real swords not wall decorations, these are real slightly blunted so as not to tear any vital parts should ya get an ich, rat tail hooks) I do have a photo up now showing the ring inside of the cup .

Perhaps once we have our inital line posted we may take on special such as that. That would be a beauty. The nickle plated version should look nice though. We will also have a different style of hook modeled after the one used in the most recent Peter Pan.
Captain_MacNamara Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 You've got a PM Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
