AWL PIKE (polearm)

Weight: ~6 kg

Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row

Also known just as a "pike" and a Morris pike (corruption of Moorish), this is an infantry spear ranging 16 to 22 feet in length. Awl heads are usually leaf- or lozenge-shaped. The pole is made of a strong wood, such as ash. Many pike heads are made with two tongues of steel, nailed down the sides of the shaft in order to prevent the head from getting hacked off.
The grip is often bound with cloth and the butt capped in steel to prevent the shaft from splitting. The awl pike has the dubious distinction of being the slowest polearm available. This is a weapon of questionable value, except when used en masse on the battlefield.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:

Battlecry, Impale, Lure, Mangle and Polearms.

See also:

Bardiche, Boar spear, Fauchard, Gisarme, Glaive, Halberd, Harpoon, Javelin, Lance, Long spear, Pike, Pilum, Ranseur, Short spear, Trident and Voulge.
