Railroad Spike Athame – Hand-Forged Iron Ritual Blade (11.5”)

This Railroad Spike Athame is a ritual blade forged from iron traditionally associated with direction, force, permanence, and decisive will. Shaped from a railroad spike and finished with a grounded, utilitarian profile, this athame is designed for command-focused spellwork, not ornamental display.

Measuring approximately 11.5 inches long, the blade carries significant presence and weight, making it ideal for circle casting, banishing, uncrossing, and authority-based ritual work. The iron construction anchors intention firmly, while the twisted handle reinforces themes of control, pressure, and transformation under force.

Included is a stitched leather sheath, allowing the blade to be safely stored, transported, or ritually “sealed” when not in use. This athame is particularly effective in workings where energy must be cut cleanly, redirected, or forcefully separated, rather than gently guided.

This is not a ceremonial showpiece.
It is a working blade — direct, grounded, and uncompromising.

Common Ritual Applications:

• Circle casting and directional authority
