Condor Tool & Knife Asmat Dagger Hunting Spear - 1075 High Carbon Steel - Spear Weapon with a Burnt Eucalipto Handle and Handcrafted Welted Leather Sheath - 15.8in Blade - 49.7oz (3mm)

The media could not be loaded. I have worked with many spears for hundreds of hours, but Condor’s Asmat is the best by far. Excellent balance, versatile grip and flawless ballistics with superb rifling. Comes pretty sharp, but can be sharpened further to a surgical keenness. I cannot imagine throwing trick shots or foot-jousting with anything else. I’ve bought six and broke four, not because they are fragile but because of the extreme violence to which I have merrily subjected them. I literally trust these spears with my life on Venice Beach before dawn where they have occasionally prevented tragedies.Throw out the screws, which are useless, and just fix the head to the shaft with wood glue. The rubber end-cap can also be tossed — this spear should come with a sauroter instead — but if you want it for a bumper/counterweight, you can fix it to the shaft by wrapping some tape around the end of the shaft and then twisting the cap on over that (again, the included screws are useless.)This is not just my favorite spear, but my favorite hand-to-hand weapon of my entire large arsenal. Every man, quite frankly, should own and get comfortable using one of these. If you prefer another spear for some reason, I’d certainly challenge you on that. Perhaps we could settle it with a friendly competition.

The shaft is way too short and thin for the weight and girth of the head. The wood is decent quality though and the set screws are top notch. Sadly this spear is not worth the $75 asked by any stretch of the imagination. I recommend just buying the dagger and buying a different, longer and higher quality shaft than the one sent with the spear.

Needle sharp like a giant hypodermic needle this thing is scary. Shaft came perfectly straight with all mounting screws needed to affix to the high quality wood pole. Also a rubber ferrule came with and important to note this goes on the end of the dagger when not used as a spear point so that it can be used as such a dagger. True 2 way purposed item very handy.

Dumb.

I use this to protect me from Bear attacks. During my last camping trip a Grizzly bear camp up upon me and my sister wives in the forest. It corned us and I remove this spear from my backpack. The bear garaged full speed. I braced myself and pointed the spear at a 45 degree angle. The bear bit right through the spear and then tore my arm off. I thought we were all done for. One of the sister wives had her oxygen tank on her that the bear bit into. The pressure quickly released exploding the bears had like a watermelon from a Gallagher skit.I do not recommend this for self protection when hiking. Look into bear spray as an alternative

Das Holz ist von guter Qualität, soweit ich das beurteilen kann, der Kopf ist schnell montiert und alles macht einen soliden Eindruck. Die Art der Spitze, die scheinbar aus einem diagonal geschnittenen Rohrsegment besteht, hat mich erstmal überrascht, ist aber sehr stabil und spitz.
