Metal Bat
Tech Level 40. Mid club melee that sits beside the blade lane of Katana and Sword once refined mats and Hardwood are plentiful. Attack sits near 500 with Weight 3, so you get a light stick that swings hard without the capture utility of the Stun Baton. Build it when you want a simple close-range club for nest rooms and tower halls rather than another blade.
Recipe: Hardwood ×30 + Refined Ingot ×20. Thirty Hardwood is the wood sink, so keep logging pals and a sharp axe feeding the chest. Twenty Refined Ingot is the gated metal sink, so park furnace output beside the weapon bench before unlock night. Assemble both mats in one run and stash a spare.
Carry Metal Bat for doorway fights, low-tech melee nights, and any close pack where a light Weight 3 club feels better than a heavy sword. Swap to Katana or Sword when you prefer blade reach, and keep Stun Baton for capture jolts instead of damage. Figures are for Palworld 1.0.5; recheck Tech level, craft counts, Attack, Weight, and durability in game after a later patch.
