Custom spear! (started life as a brush hook)

[Samon]

Yo!


Figured I show you guys and girls what I made a while back. A spear!






When my friend brought it to me it was a heavily rusted and beat up old brush hook/slasher with a snapped tip! God knows what the original owner had been doing with it but my buddy wanted to keep it as a wall display.


So I drew a new shape on the blade with a pen and got to work, cutting away steel, shaping and shining it up! I gave the handle a burn and oil too which brought out the grain and have it a more decorative look. I put an edge on it and kept the steel cool the whole time so it should 'work' should it be put to use I'm the 'field' Lol.


I know some of you may think its a bit evil to modify vintage tools, but it brings more enjoyment like this than it could have before and it does look nice!


What do you reckon?


Thanks for looking!

Quick! Grab your shields and form a phalanx around Samon, he can take point.

Nice restoration and modding job.

Glad you like it guys!

My friend now wants a few pig sticking pipe knives! Once I've finished his billhook - Bowie knife and those he'll have a nice wall display. I reckon a homebrew crossbow is in order just to top the cake!
