Most infantry weapons were modifications of simple farming or fishing tools, and proved invaluable when defending against, or even attacking, a mounted knight.

We usually send out the steel heads already mounted on full length oak or rattan shafts, to make for seven foot polearms. But you we can also put them on shorter staffs if you want them as single-hand weapons.

    H34 - ACHILLES - The basic rustic spear of warfare has remained unchanged in the 6,000 years of its known existence, and it’s a good guess that it goes back much further. 6’ tall, not pretty but fully fight worthy. [$10.83]

    H37 - FLAME - This steel fantasy piece can be rented with a 4 to 6 foot pole  [$11.00] or for additional savings, just rent the head and fix it to your own pole  [$6.00] and you'll save a bundle on shipping

H35- PILUM - this style of Roman spear a had long, thin iron neck. (wooden pole not shown) Once imbedded in an enemy shield, it would be impossible to simply hack-off the pole, so the enemy shield became heavy and useless. If, on the other hand, it bounced off of a shield, the long neck would bend, making it useless for the enemy to use. [$11.00]

 H18 - SCYTHE, Traditional -

This is a real scythe, with a 26" blade and is 62"inches overall. [$16.00]

Because of its unusual shape, additional shipping charge applies, even when dismantled.

    H19 - SCYTHE, Modified - since the traditional scythe is sometimes difficult to handle, we made this one sporting a 22" blade and is 60 inches tall.  [$16.00]
