If the killer were, say, Battler, it'd be more understandable to think the stakes could be used as actual murder weapons. But the proposed killers tend not to be that strong. Plus, even if you successfully stabbed someone in a place other than the head, it would hardly cause their death in any reasonable amount of time. You'd either have to stab them multiple times or in a critical area (not always seen in cases of, say, knee gouging) or in the head, which doesn't happen in every case. And both of those are fairly difficult with a heavy object unless someone's already incapacitated, especially for a supposedly frail person.
Hell, I think you'd get more use from flipping the stake over and just using the handle as a blunt instrument.
