A hakapik is a club, of
Norwegian design, used for
killing seals, and is generally used to kill seal pups today. The hakapik is a multipurpose hunting tool—a heavy wooden club, with a hammer head (used to crush a seal's skull), and a hook (used to drag away the carcass) on the end. In Norway, and possibly elsewhere, the hakapik is used mainly to kill seal cubs, while a rifle is used to kill mature individuals. The Hakapik is also used to ensure that shot seals are actually dead.
