I posted this picture in the "Weapon of Choice" thread. Dress it up a bit and it would work great for a Gil-Galad’s spear, Aeglos:

This a rather short spear (about 4 1/2 to 5 feet in length) used by the Romans for thrusting in tight formations. It’s the only historical spear I can find that was designed to be re-usable; all other spear types were disposable, and often only one-use, weapons.
