Not much is known about these exotic weapons, except that they have a length of 527 centimeters (17.3 feet). They do not seem to have much of a combat purpose but more a ceremonial one, as the Honor Guard Elites will use [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], and [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbines]] in real combat. However, they were used by [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] to subdue any [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] that came too close to the [[Council Chamber]] during one of the [[High Prophet of Truth]]'s sermons regarding the discovery of the [[Activation Index|Sacred Icon]]. This weapon is never used in game-play by other characters. | ||

They can be seen in the hands of the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brute Honor Guard]] during both the opening and closing cinematic of the ''Halo 2'' level, [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], but they are simply tossed aside, as the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] prefer other weaponry to protect the Hierarchs, and kill [[John-117|Master Chief]]. | They can be seen in the hands of the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brute Honor Guard]] during both the opening and closing cinematic of the ''Halo 2'' level, [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], but they are simply tossed aside, as the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] prefer other weaponry to protect the Hierarchs, and kill [[John-117|Master Chief]].. | ||

In the cutscene, "Monsters", the weapon can be seen to cut though another pike as well as shear an [[Elite]]'s armor. The stave can also been seen used as a thrown weapon to great effect. This suggests the weapon is relatively light, or it could just be the fact that a Spartan was throwing it. Also notable is that it was only the top section of the cut stave that was thrown. | In the cutscene, "Monsters", the weapon can be seen to cut though another pike as well as shear an [[Elite]]'s armor.
