Thanks. @ jaci, it was common practice for the blacksmith to stamp the iron with the harpooners name, so when the whale was finally caught (even when it got away and was caught by another boat), they could tell who stuck the whale when they dug out the irons during processing. "The More You Know"

A proposal weapon to the epic armory. Ahab's harpoon. Kicked it up a notch with some choice words from the book.
