COLD STEEL Boar Spear
The Boar spear is a modern re-creation of a design that dates back to the European Renaissance. It is cold forged out of medium carbon SK-5 Steel and is heat-treated to a spring temper. This process enables the spear head to flex or bend under impact stresses rather than break. The Boar Spear comes with an extra stout premium ash shaft. The Boar Spear, Ash Wood handle features a 1.25 lbs. spearhead and a 71.00 in. premium Ash wood handle with dark walnut stain.
Traditional Boar Spears penetrated at least ten inches. Boar spears were the Swiss army knives of European polearms -being used for hunting and war and also being useful walking and wading aids, carrying poles etc. More than a weapon, a spear may be a symbol of power. In the Chinese martial arts community, the Chinese spear is popularly known as the "king of weapons." Another spear of religious significance is the Spear of Destiny, an artifact believed by some to have vast mystical powers.
