SPIKE: IRON
This is usually a 12 inch (30cm) long, half-inch (12mm) in
diameter cylinder of iron with a point at one end and a flat-end at the
other for hammering. Made from a single casting of iron, or else a
scrap piece of iron hammered into shape. The point may be anything up
to half the length of the spike, but typically only a third. Designed
for many uses from
rope fasteners for tents or climbing, to wedging into doors to keep
them shut, for spiking big guns, or for prying open closed containers
(if a crowbar or chisle is unavailable). Some even use them as
makeshift grappling hooks (fastening two together to form a cross on
the end of a rope).
May come in smaller, thicker, thinner, double-spike, or even larger versions. Adjust weight and cost as appropriate.
