Exactly. I was thinking along those lines as well when it came to so-called 'peasant' weapons made from farm implements. I remember reading that the bian or jin was such an item used for lifting hay bails, but excellent as a cudgel/deflecting weapon. I love your morning star and would love to have one of these. Now if I can only rationalize what they have to do with pirates/maritime use?
