I like the ones with what looks like the toilet-plunger (flag-holder, whatever)
with 1x1 round and katana. Either style is fine for a naginata, but not quite
what I'm looking for in a western pike.

Ummmm, errr, I was refering to the Scots methods of pike-handling as opposed to
the Swiss. The Swiss were capable of much more offensive action than the
Scots. Considering the latter were often facing longbow armed troops, this
proved decisive on more than one occassion.
And I ain't arguing with anyone slinging a sword whether he made it or not.
