Confederate bridle-cutting pike. 238 grams, 16" long overall, 12" pike length. A mean-looking weapon with a dual purpose: double-edged pike sans 8" shaft for thrusting at enemy and 5" long hooked blade designed to cut the reins and/or bridle of attacking cavalry causing them to lose control of their mounts. Excavated in Louisiana and wax sealed for preservation.
