OVERVIEW
No one knows when the ball headed war club first appeared. It was in common use in the early 16th century and was popular with the war-like tribes of the American eastern seaboard, eventually spreading to the Great Lakes region and northern Canada all the way to the Great Plains west of the Mississippi.
In battle, a dedicated blow from the ball of the club could easily break a limb or crush a skull like a bat going through a watermelon. For added dynamism and increased effectiveness, the ball was sometimes spiked with an antler, bone, knapped stone, or even iron.
Cold Steel's version is approximately 2 ft. long. It features a 3-1/4" diameter ball fitted with a short steel spike. The club is injection-molded from black Polypropylene, which is practically unbreakable. It will never rot, crack, warp, splinter, swell, shrink, mildew, or fade. For historical re-enactors, the surface has a realistic wood-grain finish that can be easily customized with paint and ornamented with brass studs, tacks, or feathers.
