Cold Steel® is proud to introduce a modern interpretation of this iconic, culturally significant and wholly American implement ofwar.
In the early 16th century, American Indians observed the devastating potential of a rifle stock as a bludgeoning weapon, and they wasted no time in fashioning their own war clubs based upon its basic shape. Made of straight grain hard woods like hornbeam, maple, ash, hickory or oak, they hit with remarkable force and proved to be extremely potent tools, especially when enhanced by the addition of a short point or even knife blades.
In fact, the Gunstock War Club became so popular that it soon migrated as far as the Pacific coast, where it endured clear into the 1880's. It remains an iconic ceremonial item to this very day.
Custom designed by bladesmith Rich McDonald, Cold Steel®’s version of this fascinating tool incorporates all the best features from historical examples, including the ridged center line, the sharp point and the classic Fawn's Foot handle.
Instead of using traditional hardwoods, Cold Steel® chose to make this War Club from injection-molded high impact polypropylene. This material is highly resistant to shock and is practically unbreakable, making it particularly suitable for use in impact weaponry. As an added bonus, this material is highly resistant to the elements and will not warp, rot, crack or splinter like wooden versions.
For those interested in re-enacting periods of the American frontier history, the War Club features a very realistic wood grain texturing, which can be painted to replicate a wooden finish.

Empfehlung für robuste Wurfkeulen
Aus Neugier bestellt, da ich gesehen habe, wie Menschen in den USA sie durch Wälder werfen. Obwohl ich mich eher für Keulen der pazifischen Inselkulturen interessiere, beeindruckt dieser durch seine Unverwüstlichkeit. Definitiv seinen Preis wert, mit viel destruktivem Potenzial. Habe ihn bereits geworfen und beim zweiten Versuch ist er wie gewünscht im Holz stecken geblieben. Viele sagen, er sei leichtgewichtig, aber für mich ist er im Vergleich zu anderen vergleichbaren Waffen ziemlich massiv.
Highly Durable
This piece is fantastic. I bought it to display in my office alongside other unique items. It's incredibly sturdy and could definitely be used if needed. I was surprised to find out that it's not just a decorative item; I've used it to break wooden pallets into kindling for fires. It's nearly indestructible.
Impressive Weapon!
Firstly, the Lakota tribe had a brilliant idea with this design. The grip suits me well, and even though I'm not heading into battle, I enjoy using it for workouts, moving it through the proper motions. It can definitely serve as a war weapon. I tested it on a wooden pallet after seeing someone else do it, and it worked! The club side is fierce, and the blade is extremely sharp. Handle it with care because it can cause serious damage to objects, animals, or people!
Additionally, it arrived a week early, so thumbs up for that.
