Cold Steel Gunstock War Club 92PGS

Designed after the early sixteenth century American Native war club, which were made of specially chosen straight grain hard woods like Maple, Ash, Oak, Hickory or Hornbeam and weighed from two to three pounds. While there are a fascinating variety of historical examples we could have reproduced, ours was custom designed by blade smith Rich Mc Donald. He incorporated all the best features from our favorite clubs including the ridged centerline, a short lance point, and the classic “Fawn’s Foot” handle.

To avoid the risk of cross grain breakage, we have abandoned the traditional hardwoods in favor of Polypropylene. As you may know, this material is highly resistant to shock and is practically unbreakable, and as an added bonus, this material is highly resistant to the elements and won’t warp, rot, shrink crack or splinter the way wood does.

For those interested in re-enacting various periods of the frontier history, we have given our weapon a very realistic wood grain finish. This means you can easily customize your club with “cut outs”, brass studs, tacks, feathers, horse hair falls or the paint of your choice.
