We should go partners into a pike manufacturing and marketing scheme.
Some folks propose primitive spikes and sharpened wooden stakes but I think the classic model with at least a twelve foot shaft and the combo axe-spike working end would be more impressive.
Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression!
Cheers!
A pike is a purely thrusting weapon; the axe and spike combination is a halberd. I've drilled with both. You want the pike in formations to clear the streets, and the halbard for in-fighting in tighter quarters. And a sword and shield for when things get really up close and personal.
