Axes and Grapples?

[Calico James Flint]

Wasn't sure whether this should go here or in Captain Twill, but as I'm not going for 100% accuracy, I thought here would be fine.

I'm looking for me a boarding axe, and have stumbled across this:

I read in this post https://pyracy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=980 that boarding axes would've had a spike, but other than that, I'm not sure if this is a good choice... methinks so, what do ye think?

Also, anybody no anybody who makes a good/affordable grapplin' hook? I'm thinking of just finding a metal worker to twist one up outta some sqaure stock...... but if anyone has some definite ideas/links/suggestions as to prefabbed ones, or ideas for proper design, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks mateys....

Axe "C" is what the HMCA is using in its demos and it holds up bloddy great!

ah! Thanks Jack, that's precisely what I was looking for! It's got a long collar on it (I guess that's the proper name) and should hold up a nicely!
