    Default Split or Splintered wood weapons

    I have been making weapons for years from splinters that form on trees because of ice or other storms tearing them down . they are incredibly sharp, strong, and useful. This Javolin is about 4 feet long.

    Those splinters happen a lot with pines around here. You can also split them into very thin strips to make very good kindling.
