The pikes used during the Eureka Stockade were made by local blacksmiths. There were comprised of a rough wooden pole about 2.4 metres long, tipped with a sharp metal spike and a hook designed to cut bridles and reins of the mounted men's horses. The hook could also be used to pull rider from their horse.
