Such thoughtful design underscores its multifunctional utility – more than just a decorative element, this butt spike served as a vital survival tool in combat scenarios.
The butt spike isn’t just a backup; it was crafted for combat readiness.

Having this brass butt spike enabled them to stand their ground, offering a quick and effective defense to subdue those who might pose a danger to themselves or their comrades.
Meticulously constructed, this spear butt spike boasts a total length of approximately 33 cm, with an inner diameter of about 3 cm – precisely designed to fit a variety of spear shafts. The spike itself measures around 20.3 cm long, with a maximum width of about 2.5 cm, striking the right balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. Weighing in at approximately 650 grams, it combines both practical weight and substantial construction, making it an ideal compliment to your historical weaponry or decorative collection.
