Cuts like a hot knife through butter

Order the spear on a Monday. Delivered on Wednesday. You have to attach the Spear head to the shaft with 2 screws not provided. On Friday- Sunday of that week will killed 5 Russian boars, 175-300lbs each. Everyone was amazed how easy this thing cut though a hog. We already are planning the next trip. Pro - the head can bend 45 degrees and return to original.Sharp as heck.Cons- afterwards we have coated the wooden ash pole with rubber. We felt the varnish was to slick, so everyone sanded theirs and found a new coating. I used a spray rubber for tools.Gonna hang the blade next to the boar mount!

Boar spear

I intended it for hunting. Really have no complaints other than the spearhead itself. Edge angle was too steep to put a decent edge on it. So I decided to adjust the angle and hone. However...Rockwell hardness exceeded that of files. Electric Knife sharpener and coarse stone's also failed. Finally achieved results using Dremel with sanding drum.

Functional, durable, heavy-duty

Although this spear isn't exactly beautiful, it is a very sturdy and fully-functional hunting tool/weapon. DO NOT mistake this for a throwing spear as it is simply too hefty. The long, sharp edges allow this piece to work as a chopping tool in a pinch, but its true strength is found as a lance/thrusting spear.The CS Boar Spear comes with a noticeably heavier, thicker shaft than its cousins, the CS Assegai spears. Furthermore, the spear head is considerably thicker, and sports a crossbar to keep game from sliding all the way up the shaft.Like a lot of CS products, this was built with simplicity and functionality in mind, with relatively little focus on appearance.
