Pike Spear — Hand-Forged Piercing Spear

Pike Spear — Hand-Forged Piercing Spear in 5160 Steel

The Everest Forge Pike Spear is a hand-forged piercing spear built around one job: the thrust. The long, narrow blade tapers through a stiff diamond cross-section to a fine, deep-driving point — lean, rigid, and made to punch through where a broad blade cannot. It rides on a long rosewood handle with a basketweave pattern carved directly into the wood, giving a secure, textured grip and a distinctive look without any leather wrap, finished with a wrist lanyard. It comes complete with a hand-stitched leather scabbard. Forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel reclaimed from truck springs, water-tempered, and full-tang from point to butt, it is real, battle-ready steel.

This is the spear for someone who values reach and penetration over a big cutting head. The slim profile and 33-inch length make it fast and far-reaching in the hand, while the carved grip keeps it locked in your palm through hard thrusts. It is built for functional and tactical enthusiasts, hunters who want a deep-driving point, and collectors drawn to its clean, purposeful, hand-worked look. Like everything we make, it is forged to your spec — your blade length, finish, handle wood, and scabbard colour, with free engraving, all included.

Honest note: This is a 33-inch hand spear, not a six-foot pole pike on a full shaft. It is built for thrusting, hunting, field use, and display. If you want a full-length pole version, we forge those as a custom build.

Built to Pierce

The Pike Spear is forged the same way as our working blades: a bar of 5160 spring steel hammered to shape by hand, water-tempered so the point stays hard while the spine keeps its spring, and full-tang so the steel runs unbroken through the handle. What sets it apart is the geometry. The blade is drawn long and narrow with a thick diamond cross-section, so it stays stiff and resists flexing as it drives in — all of the spear's force focused behind a single fine point.

That makes it a specialist where most spears are generalists. A broad leaf blade cuts and slashes; the Pike is built to thrust deep and true, with the reach of its 33-inch length behind it. For thrusting drills, deep-driving hunting strikes where legal, and serious handling, a dedicated piercing spear like this does the job a broad blade cannot.

The Carved Grip

The Pike's handle is solid rosewood with a basketweave pattern carved directly into the wood — no leather wrap, just hand-cut texture in the timber itself. It is there for a reason: the carved pattern gives your hand real purchase on the long handle, so the spear stays locked in your grip through hard thrusts and in wet or cold conditions, where a smooth handle would slip.

It also sets the Pike apart visually. The worked pattern runs the length of the handle, catching the light and showing the hand of the maker, and a leather wrist lanyard at the butt keeps the spear secured to you in use. It is a clean, purposeful, hand-crafted detail rather than added decoration — function and looks in the same cut.

Why Functional & Tactical Users Choose This Spear

It is a true piercing specialist. A long, narrow, diamond-section blade built to thrust deep and stay stiff — not a general-purpose cutting head.

The carved grip really works. A basketweave pattern cut into the rosewood gives a secure hold through hard thrusts, with a wrist lanyard for retention.

It is real forged steel. Full-tang 5160 spring steel, water-tempered and sharpened — genuine reach, a real point, and battle-ready strength.

It is proven. One of our better-reviewed spears, with verified five-star reviews from real buyers.

Total customisation is included, not upsold. Blade length, four finishes, two handle woods, six scabbard colours, and free engraving — all part of the standard build.

Care & Maintenance

After every use: Wipe the blade clean and dry. Apply a thin coat of light oil (mineral oil, camellia oil, or 3-in-1 oil), with attention to the point.

Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid long-term storage in the leather scabbard. Display stand or wall mount recommended.

Rust spots: Light surface rust is normal on 5160 carbon steel and easily removed with very fine steel wool (#0000 grade) and a few drops of oil.

Sharpening: Use a quality whetstone (1000-grit working) at 22–25 degrees per side. Avoid power grinders, which can ruin the temper.

Handle care: Treat the rosewood occasionally with a little wood oil to keep it from drying out; the carved pattern will hold up well with basic care.
