The Rake Head is the metal toothed head of a garden rake, without its handle. It is a part for rebuilding a Rake or for turning into a spiked weapon.
Its best known use is the Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon recipe. That bolts the head onto a bat or a Large Handle at Carpentry level 4. The Assemble Very Long Implement recipe fits it to a Long Stick to make a new Rake. As a medium iron item, it can also be smelted at a furnace.
The head comes from taking a Rake apart, and it is a common find in garden stores, sheds and farms. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The spiked weapon is the main draw. Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon takes one Rake Head, a Baseball Bat, Crafted Baseball Bat, Large Handle or Short Bat, one Nuts and Bolts and two Leather Strips. A wrench, a carpentry chisel, a metal drill and a mallet are all needed and kept. The result is a Baseball Bat with Rake Spikes, a Large Handle with Rake Spikes or a Short Bat with Rake Spikes. The recipe needs Carpentry level 4. The Research Craft option on the head teaches it.
Assemble Very Long Implement rebuilds a Rake from the head and one Long Stick. It needs a hammer, club hammer or mallet and a sharp knife, all kept, and Maintenance level 1.
Make Scrap Metal Weapon turns the head into a Rake-Head Scrap Metal Weapon. That recipe needs Welding level 5, six uses of a Welding Torch, a welding mask, a wrench and a metal drill. It also takes a Steel Rod or Iron Pipe, one Nuts and Bolts and a Rag, Denim Strips or Leather Strips.
At a furnace, Smelt Iron From Medium Item gives two Iron Chunk. Smelt Steel From Medium Iron Item gives two Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.
How to Get Rake Head
The Dismantle Long Implement recipe takes a Rake apart with a hammer, club hammer or mallet, which is kept. It gives the Rake Head and a broken handle. No station or skill is needed.

Locations
The head is a fairly common find in garden and farm buildings. Garden stores are the likeliest place, at roughly one container in eight. Florists, greenhouse cupboards and sun rooms hold one now and then. Tool stores, outdoor supply stores, farmer storage and sheds each give a steady small chance. Closets, general stores and garage storage crates turn one up less often.

Notes
- Research Craft on the head teaches the Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon recipe.
- The spiked weapon recipe needs four kept tools, so a full toolbox comes first.
- A spare Rake can be dismantled to free its head for a spiked weapon.
- A spare head smelts down to iron or steel chunks at a furnace.
