Great quality spearhead that works for multiple cultures. The weight and size are perfect, and I’ll be using it for a Greek dory. Price is right, and definitely recommended!
I got this one because it was the most affordable one with a center ridge along the blade. I get all my stuff to be functional, and I didn’t want something that would fold up if I stabbed with it. I’ve come to realize most of what is sold here is actually very excellent quality and durability if it is claimed to be so, however. So I’m not knocking the ones without this ridge. They would probably hold up fine as long as you’re not doing something really stupid like stabbing it repeatedly into a hardwood tree trunk. Regardless, that ridge reinforcement is a reassurance of durability and usability, and I think it looks nicer. Paid for sharpening and got it, and it feels like you could put a nasty gash in someone with a chopping motion as well, even though that is not the primary purpose of it (would likely cleave through a collar bone rather easily). I got this as part of my “disappearing forever into the wilderness” collection. Keep it wrapped up and in the bag and make a shaft when I’m out there, if I ever do. Though honestly a boar spear head may be better for that. Still a great spear head and great value.
The steel on this one is very tough! I was looking for a good spear head for throwing weapons practice, and this has withstood some very bad practice throws. It sticks wonderfully both in the ground and a hard wood target. Both functional and stylish. I would agree with the Battle Ready label. The opening on the head is a bit large for the standard hardware store 60 in tapered handle, but the taper it the opening fits snuggly when the spear head is tapped into place. Not pictured is a hole to secure the spear head with a screw. I don’t bother with it for throwing purposes.
