Premium Fire Oxbow

The "puppy hammer" or "oxbow" was inspired by blending the ancient Chinese martial weapon "meteor hammer" with the Māori "poi" from Aotearoa.

The Oxbow is a longer version of meteor poi, often used with nodes or markings along the tether to allow for several different modes of play depending on how you hold it, such as rope dart and even contact staff-like tricks.

It is designed to be long enough to be comfortable enough to spin like poi when in Oxbow mode, but also short enough so that the heads do not scrape the ground when used in other modes.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Oxbows are extremely size dependant and are personalised to your specific anatomical dimensions and play-style preferences.

We strongly suggest if you are unsure about how to size the instrument for yourself, that you reach out and research in online forums and groups to ensure you size it correctly and take into consideration the size(length) of the heads to ensure best fit.

A very basic rule-of-thumb is that when the tether is worn correctly, the top of the heads/ bottom of the attachment "quick links" sit no lower than your elbows.

As standard, our Oxbow tethers are Brummel spliced on to swivels, to which "quick links" can then be attached so that various different heads can be fitted for ease of use.

This does unfortunately mean that there is an amount of exposed metal close to the head which can cause undesirable burns if not used carefully. A way to overcome this issue is to cover the "quick links" in self-fusing silicone tape which we supply in our "Materia" Sub-menu.
