Assegai, African Spear, with Short Shaft
The spear is one of humankind's oldest and most reliable weapons. Early examples were nothing more than sticks or staves with a fire-hardened point. As man gradually learned to knap stone, cast bronze and forge metal, the spear was optimised accordingly. As a thrusting weapon the spear could out-reach any shorter weapon - club, axe, sword or even bayonet. As a throwing implement it enabled its wielder to bring down the largest predators while staying out of reach of their fangs and claws.
Thanks to the cold-forging technique developed by Cold Steel, highly efficient thrusting and throwing spears can be offered at a reasonable price. Each spear has a first-class shaft of American ash and a head of medium-carbon SK-5 steel. As with traditional spearheads, these have been heat-treated and tempered to spring hardness. The aim is that the spearhead bends rather than breaks or splinters, even under strong impact.
The Assegai was designed in the early 19th century by the legendary Shaka, King of the Zulu. Thanks to its long, broad blade and its short shaft, this spear was an optimal thrusting weapon and revolutionised tribal warfare in southern Africa.
Cold Steel's Assegai has the same deadly characteristics as the original. It is available with a short shaft (for thrusting) as well as with a long shaft (for throwing). A Secure-Ex® sheath is included in the scope of delivery.
