The heavy pick is similar to a miner's pick but specifically designed for war. The haft is about 4 feet (1.2m) long and can be made of wood or metal. The metal weapon head is a slightly curved thick spike backed by either a smaller spike or a hammer head. Some heavy picks are indistinguishable from a light hammer with a pick on the back. An average heavy pick costs 8gp and weighs 6lbs (2.7kg). See also: Light hammer and Light pick
