Overview
Cold Steel - Boar Hunting Spear
The Cold Steel Boar Spear has a spearhead of SK-5 Medium Carbon steel - it has been honed to have a sharp edge and it it has been blackened. The blade fits alongside the shaft on its back. The shaft is of american ash wood and has been stained and varnished. A Secure-Ex sheath of hard tactical impact plastic and a nylon retaining strap is included. The spear comes disassembled. The spearhead is secured to the shaft with a pair of wood screws which are included.
This modern boar spear has a large, wide head to cause a maximum sized wound on an unarmored target in short order. The spearhead is thin and sharp - allowing it penetrate deeply and more easily then a thicker spearhead with more mass. Its medium carbon steel aids in giving the thin blade some flex to resist snapping. The base of the spearhead has two winged lugs to prevent over-penetration, allowing the spearman to keep a target at a distance after the strike. The wide and dense hardwood shaft aids in directing a great amount of force into the target and to resist breaking.
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.

Stong spear The only issue I had with this spear was when installing the spear head I had to modify the shaft so that it would properly attach.
Very feeble After owning this spear for several weeks, I have found that the wood screws included do not hold the head securely in place for long at all. My first impressions of the spear were very good. It came very sharp and it’s long edge made cutting water bottles effortless. However, the head soon came loose and I now have to tighten the screws every time I use it and the head shifts and rattles even then.
All my gratitude! 💕
Fantastic, functional spear for the money! Love KOA, but I purchased mine from Amazon — be sure to use oversized stainless screws; also be sure to pre-drill the holes for them. Holds together perfectly with better screws — the spear shaft is a beefy one…
I got this spear from Amazon years ago. People are complaining that it’s weak and not durable, but that is up to poor craftsmanship on their part or whoever assembled the spear beforehand. My spear is extremely rigid and stable, I’ve struck wood with it and the blade remains fairly intact. For it’s price, it’s a great spear. I would order from Amazon, as I suspect that is how you get it in two parts and thus not rely on others to assemble it. The blade is razor sharp, and after years of storage, the steel hasn’t rusted or anything (as it has a black protective coating around it of some sort). My one qualm is purely for aesthetics; if you click through to the final few pictures, you’ll see what I mean. I don’t understand why they forged/cast the blade to not be symmetrical from either side, but nonetheless, the blade is wicked sharp, and you could certainly take this out boar hunting and get the job done. Although it’s decently heavy, I think the shaft feels robust, and for a spear that is approaching seven feet in length, I’d say it’s doing alright. If you get it and set the spearhead yourself, you’ve got a good piece. The blade and the shaft are great, and so far I feel no rattling or give in the spearhead, even after striking wood fairly hard, but I’d be careful as it seems that people who have ordered off KoA have the piece preassembled, and they don’t seem to be put together with good screws or something. I hope this helped whoever has read this, as someone who owns this type of spear and thinks it was a solid buy (from Amazon, not sure about KoA).
