Amorning staris any of several medieval club-like weapons consisting of a shaft with an attached ball adorned with one or more spikes that use a combination of blunt-force and puncture attack to kill, wound, orincapacitatethe enemy.
Details:All metal construction (hollow, but thick walled as you can tell by the weight) with molded leather covering lower third of 1.25\" diameter handle for secure one or two handed grip. Since it weighs in at a little over 4 lbs it will take some muscle to wield one-handed, but is certainly possible. The array of 20 1.5\" long stainless steel spikes. and 2\" long top spike, are sharp, threaded into a 4\"diameterhead which is securely mounted on a 28\" metal handle. A small pommel at butt of handle provides a counter-balance and with the weight of the entire weapon behind it would also be capable of devastating strikes as well.
Comments: I only ordered one of these initially, I wanted to see the quality. Turns out it\'s pretty solid, well made at this price but only intended for soft targets like watermelons or home intruders, not trees! Besides, the spikes would get stuck. Totally bad-ass, I don\'t think you\'ll be disappointed.I do the photos myself and try to give you a good idea of what this weapon is really like.March \'22 I got more in, as well asthe black version, please check listing for item #223325819784.See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

War hammers, maces and morning stars came into widespread use about the mid 14th Century when advances in plate mail made swords ineffectual.

The morning star is a Medieval weapon with a spiked ball mounted on a shaft, resembling a mace, but with a long spike extending straight from the top and many smaller spikes projecting from the head. The spikes are what distinguish it from a mace, which could have, at most, flanges or small knobs. It was used by both infantry and cavalry; the horseman\'s weapon had a shorter shaft. Many surviving morning stars are of a longer two-handed form up to six feet in length. The morning star first came into widespread use around the beginning of the fourteenth century, particularly in Germany where it was known as a Morgenstern.
