Erik Nørding's origins are not in woodworking. Since he is a trained blacksmith and engineer, he has always been fascinated by metals and machines. This is how he finally came to pipe making. An interesting interview with Erik Nørding about the beginnings can be found at Pipedia. Some well-known pipe makers started their careers in Erik Nørding's workshop. For example Poul Ilsted or Peder Jeppesen.
Erik's son Knud and Knud's son Victor now also work in the family business in Slangerup, just outside Copenhagen. Nørding pipes cover a wide range of freehands, handmade and series pipes.
The Compass is a light, robust and uncomplicated pipe that is also good for on the go. The bowls and detachable mouthpieces also fit all other Compass pipes. This is a space-saving way to pack, especially when travelling.
The MacArthur Compass has a bowl shape inspired by Generel MacArthur's famous pipes.
On the underside of the bowl is the so-called "vegvísir" - a runic compass, a protection symbol, which should help to find the right way.
