Bar of many pruposes

What you call this may depend on what you use it for.  I encountered my first one, called a Lining Bar, when I worked on the railroad one summer as a kid, and somebody else me know it as an Ice Spud, used to make holes to ice fish through, but then I used them in construction foundation work as a digging bar, and now I am using it as an Ice Breaker to loose up the frozen wet gravel pile, so I can shovel some onto the mushy parts of the driveway.  It is a bit much to enlist it as a Javelin though.
