The Cold Steel long Assegai has a sharp spearhead of SK-5 Medium Carbon steel. This type of steel allows the blade to flex instead of breaking under pressure. The spearhead has been blackened. The blade fits alongside the shaft on its back. The shaft is of american ash. The spear comes with a Secure-Ex sheath of hard tactical impact plastic. It has a nylon retaining strap. The spear comes unassembled and the spearhead is secured to the shaft with a pair of wood screws which are included.
The Assegai was an ancient weapon used throughout Africa. It was only in more modern times that it was supplanted by firearms. Not just a stabbing spear, it was common for African warriors to throw the Assegai to great effect.
Please Note: Our photos show an approximation of the completed weapon - we did not screw the head to the pole, this is why the screws are not present in the photos. Also poles may have slight bends or warps, however, we inspect them to try and pick the best ones available. Overall Length: 81 1/2'' Blade: 13'' 2 lb 7.5 oz |
