I know it's treated like a red strike or a blue because its swung, but from what it looks like in the picture, it's built to resemble a stab tip. I'm not saying it is one, but it looks like it has about the same construction / shape / hit surface. It could even be a really thin hammer. I don't know. I'm going off of what the picture looks like.
My only question was if it were safe or not based on such a small hit surface compared to a longer bladed hit surface. I get the feeling that if i stuck that on a six foot poll, my haft padding would get a workout and that it would get failed by anyone who recognized the possibility when checking.
What i will probably end up doing is turning that end into a shield hook, and putting an axe blade on the other end. I was just curious as to the safety of the small hit surface thats all.
