Why not use a lance for the grip part, and attach a spear to the other end? If
the minifig holds the lance "backwards", the handle would give ample

could even suggest the "lack of sophistication" of Scots (although anyone
capable of making and weilding a claymore seems pretty sophisticated to me).
