These were a trial, and I ended up preferring 8mm diameter which have a more acute point, so these will be the only 10mm spikes available. Price has been reduced slightly since this size will be discontinued.
Made from 10mm round carbon fiber. "Colored carbon fiber" features a carbon fiber core with a colored g10 outer layer.
Something new we are offering…carbon fiber spikes. Very lightweight, noncorrosive, and low profile they make a good backup item. We also offer solid/non-tube style under another listing.
Tip comes with a basic profile thats been chamfered, you can very easily reshape it by rubbing it on a coarse grit sharpening stone, or sandpaper on a flat surface…if you prefer it sharper, blunter, more acute, more obtuse, etc. Carbon fiber is very strong but not very abrasion resistant so it sharpens much quicker than steel.
I actually put off doing these for years because I wasn't sure how strong they would be. Well after finally getting around to making some test pieces and literally hammering them through 1" thick wood with a deadblow hammer…I'm impressed. A tiny portion of tip does get rounded off doing this, but there was zero structural damage after hammering it through dozens of times. The dulled tip can easily be sharpened on a regular sheet of sandpaper(400 grit works well) in a few seconds to minute depending on experience. These are intended for lighter tasks, (like unknotting rope….use a nail if you want to hammer through wood), but they can definitely hold up to some abuse.
Being very lightweight, these are not intended as a throwing spike…its like trying to throw a straw with force.
Specs:
Ground from standard weave carbon fiber tube
10mm diameter (a fair bit thicker than 3/8"..which is 9.6mm)
6" length (length will vary slightly due to being handmade)
