There are not a lot of ways to kill a vampire. While decapitation and exposure to direct sunlight will do, the preferred method of most Vampire Slayers throughout the ages has always been a good old-fashioned wooden stake through the heart. Of course, any sharp and pointy wooden object can be used– a pencil, a table leg, a pool cue – but there’s just no substitute for a well-whittled stake to rid yourself of that undead pest.

Now, you can bring home a stake of your own, as Factory X’s Slayer’s Stake is currently in stock. A striking 13" prop replica that pays tribute to the Slayers who’ve kept the world safe from evil all through the millennia, Factory X’s Slayer’s Stake is made of actual, hand-carved wood. The piece itself comes in a handsome satin-lined, black wooden box, adorned with an attractive brass plaque, and the inside of the lid features the now-famous words, “Into every generation a Slayer is born, one girl in all the world, a chosen one...” weighs 4 pounds (including display box).
