technically a pike pole I suppose, but this looks like a home built jobbo of the kind designed to do horrible things or possibly someone who got way into their kid playing Roman Centurion #3 at easter and had genX levels of child safety in mind.

......but let's be honest, who's gonna argue semantics with the woman wielding a chunk of spiked and curved metal on a 50mm diameter shaft?

EDIT: For the curious: the two spoilers after the three colons have different uses in the markup. First denotes a spoiler, or hidden text. Second defines the subject. So in my case I typed spoiler pic
