Trench Spike Mk1

[Sam Salvati]

Forged this up tonight, all one piece no welds, this is a use for the Triskele form but instead of scrolling the ends I did this, from 5160.

That turned out really nice!

 

[Chris Pierce]

Very interesting
Have you used it?
Do you think that you'll need padding on the other side of the handle as well?

Shank city, I love it!- no matter where that hits ya its gonna hurt.

I'm really liking that, though I think it needs raw hide for a handle wrap, just to make it look really mediaeval!

 

[Patrice Lemée]

Cool! I'd go with a leather wrap myself.

I saw this and my first thought was "ouch, that's a lung killer"

 

[tryppyr]

You'll poke an eye out with that thing!

Thanks guys! It's really a kind of nasty weapon. I like the idea of rawhide or leather, this won't be the last of these I will make. I got the idea for this after watching an old WW2 film on hand to hand combat. Mk2 will be more of a dagger grip, with the spike coming out of the bottom of your closed fist with 2 knucklebows.

Chris, yes I have put a good bit of energy behind a punch aimed at a 2 by 4 and it's comfortable and stabs nice.
