When I gave Lynn Thompson (founder and owner of Cold Steel) his aluminum Moorhammer, he immediately said "Can't you add a spike to the handle?".
I said sure, but you loose some of the compactness. We discussed the issue no more.
But then I thought about the idea. It has been a while since I made my last welded steel frame, so I decided to give it a shot.
This three spiked hand weapon has a Hammerhead handle, simply because it is the best. I had to modify it a bit to accomodate the 12 mm (1/2") stainless steel rod, but it still is the real deal.
This frame required a different band attachment, Over The Top does not work for obvious reasons :)
I chose a through the fork design, slightly angled so the bands do not touch the main fork arms.
It is a fearsome hand weapon, really. And it shoots really well!
Is there a chance of coldsteel making a hammerhead from there polly plastic they use
ReplyDeleteAs you said, you lose some of the compactness, but if I had to defend the ramparts, this would make a good choice for when it came to hand-to-hand. The black palm wood is a good choice for this.
ReplyDeleteblack palm wood is sooo expensive :( that is beauty.
ReplyDeleteI have one of the cold steel samburu throwing spears. A slingshot that launched them would achieve unbelievable distances.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do make sure your grip on the handle doesn't slip at full stretch...you could end up like a oversized pin-cushion !! Like the band attachment tho,looks powerful,how does it shoot ?
