Has anyone ever removed the spike? If so, how did the result work out?

The spike is part of the same single piece of steel that the blade is on. It can't be removed.

well I guess you could, I haven't I like the hawk the way it is. but I'm sure you could

As Katie has stated, it's a single unit, and very well balanced. Removal of the spike would most likely throw off the dynamics. If you are looking for simply the cutting edge and no spike, try the Cold Steel Trail Hawk. It has a nice, wood handle, good cutting edge, no spike.

Hey Eric K, the finish is exactly the same as my AR, I have a Spike's lower. I am very pleased with the outcome and I am a former Marine infantryman. It was inexpensive I recommend it it will do the job. Good luck

Yes the ends do come off. You can change them out to spikes or add the thumb assist

I actually have not removed them yet. I'm sorry I can't provide a first-hand account of their removal. Hopefully, someone else who has used this product can help!

No. Mine came with a spike (pointed tip) and a flat end. Though, I haven't used it for some time, it's never failed me. Just keep an eye on the oil level and tighten the various bolts every once in awhile. It saved me many, many $$ compared to renting and it's great having this kind of tool readily available. Hope all this helps...

After removing the short that I mentioned, it worked well with the Booster. I don't want to use the booster but haven't had a chance to see how it works without it.

If you mean the "spike" that goes into the head of lettuce, then yes, it is removable. This item is a bit lighter than the previous one I had, but so far so good.

A TON! I got spikes for days. I believe, don't take my word for it, I got about 100 for each. There was a ton.

Great question. Never even crossed my mind. I have not seen my bill spike so I guess not.

Probably. I accidentally touched myself with it for only a mini-second and did the herky jerk! Had a super head rush for a while. Blistered and bled too. Just the loud popping noise it makes would probably detour anyone. I trust it.

One spike that's it. I lost two before I found one that resets for half the price

I am under the impression the 'spikes' are more rigid increasing the effectiveness of the 'acupressure' WORTH THE MONEY.Love this thing!!!

I have been successful with this. I applied to suckers over a year ago and they have not come back. It is the only thing that has worked for me. I used it on a flowering pear tree. Now this year I have had new suckers start and again I just applied and they are dead.

I used one spike per 10-inch pot, but the water lilies didn't bloom as well as they have other years. So I'd use two or three per pot. I wish the directions were clearer. Also, they did not say to remove the tight plastic wrap on each spike, but it seems like it should come off so I removed it (wasn't easy).

The spike has to be inserted all the way to the top and that stops most of the noise, but you can still hear it if you are right next to it. It sounds like a higher pitched buzzing noise.

No I haven't had any problem with that. The only problem I had was that leaves gather up on the spikes but any one of them is going to do that. It has done a good job so far.
