Small Counterweight – Polearm Balance Accessory

Perfect Balance for Smaller Polearms.

The Small Counterweight is an essential accessory for anyone mounting a Starfire Creations axe head or spear head onto a custom handle. When a heavy steel head is mounted at one end of a polearm, the balance point shifts dramatically toward the head — making the weapon feel unwieldy and difficult to handle on stage or in performance. This counterweight mounts at the opposite end of the handle to restore natural balance, making your polearm prop feel controlled, professional, and performance-ready.

Specifications

• Size: 1¼" x 8½"
• Weight: 1.4 lb
• Best for: Smaller polearm heads (halberd, leaf spear, barbed spear, francisca, bearded axe)

Designed to pair with the smaller axe and spear heads in the Starfire Creations lineup. For larger, heavier heads like the bardiche, executioner axes, or hook axe, see the Large Counterweight. A must-have finishing touch for any custom polearm build.
