Your suggestions please.
In anticipation of questions: 1. Q: Why not swords? A: Because Gladius. I don't need a suggestion when I already know the answer. 2. Q: Why not knives? A: We have a million threads. 3. Q: What application or circumstances? A: Melee and smiting of enemies in general. Scractched my tomahaw itch recently. but would consider another one. Toying with the idea of making a WWI trench mace  |

When we were creative boys before ipads and shit
Me and a buddy made an impressive mace out of a Christmas tree we found In the The alley. Try to use your minds eye here. A pine like that grows branches in clusters. Depending on weather you want a longer or shorter head crusher do the following. I'd give an ms paint but am on my phone. Cut the (dead and hardened) tree right above a cluster . The lower cut will determine your handle length Carve , whittle, sand whatever the handle portion and finish as desired. We wrapped it in leather scraps from the tac bin in my garage, looked very Conan esq Cut the branches off at different angles around the cluster to make very aggressive nubs Viola, a solid wood mace that is HIGHLY dangerous As a bonus round we drove 16 penny nails into it sticking out about 1 1/5 inch. Then ground the heads off to give it beautiful rusty spikes all around the ball of nubs. The handle ended up being about two feet long when we were finished. Dad was very impressed with our weapon making skills but gave a big fat nope and took it away. EDIT I drew a quick sketch . Don't mock ma skills. I told myself if I ever made another, I would make it slimmer, maybe longer, sand it beautifully and stain it deep reddish. Hell, I may just do exactly that, I'm sure I can find some looser that dumped their tree that's nice and dry by now.

Those guys in the trenches chose a club for a reason. Little training required, heavy clothes and gear won't prevent the clubbee from taking damage, like it would with a bladed weapon.
Plus, they look the business. |

I'd go with a warhammer with a pointy part on one end so if you were tied up and couldn't get a swing in you could still punch in the the pointy part at least. If you weren't worried about that then a mace as you posted would be just fine.

This one is 30" OAL, but I can make them whatever I want, it's got decent weight to it but not overly heavy. The gear is out of a Valley sprinkler gearbox, and the bottom of the handle is made from some of the worm gear that I cut off. I made one for my buddy that has the bottom shaped more like a baseball bat. This one comes to a point at the bottom. |

Go to handle house. Pick out a killer hickory handle for an ax, hoe, or pick ax. Customize it to your liking.
