Nargrym Steelhand took this Glaive Guisarme from the dead hands of the taiga giant warlord Neveraka, and used the weapon for the rest of his giantslaying career

Fitted with a menacingly cruel 2-foot-long barbed iron head, this Large +1 Giant-Bane Glaive Guisarme can skewer an opponent, lodging beneath the flesh and holding fast.
On a confirmed critical hit with the spear, Heartspit’s wielder can attempt a combat maneuver check to grapple the target as a free action. This grapple attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the target. While grappling a creature with Heartspit, the wielder can move or damage the target with the Glaive Guisarme only on the wielder’s turn. The wielder is still considered grappled, though he does not have to be adjacent to the target to continue the grapple. If the wielder ends the grapple or the target successfully breaks the grapple, the target takes 4d8 points of slashing damage as the Glaive Guisarme’s barbed head is ripped free
