"This is my lucky stake. I have killed many vampires with it. I call it Mr. Pointy."

―Kendra Young^[src]

Mr. Pointy was the stake that was owned and carved by Kendra Young which she killed many vampires with, claiming it was lucky. She gave it to Buffy to kill Angelus. Buffy intended to stake Angelus with it if Willow Rosenberg couldn't restore his soul, but didn't when imformed of the trap Angelus laid.

Buffy kept it for a long time after Kendra's death, having bronzed in honor of Kendra and according herself, keeping it as a safety blanket.

Behind the Scenes

• In "Helpless", Buffy claimed to have had the stake bronzed while in "Choices" and "The Freshman" she mentions to have used the stake against vampires which would not be effective. It is likely she was just colloquially referring to any generic stake she had.
