I have one of these and am considering purchasing another but wanted to weigh in and help clarify. This is not hollow and is 100% functional. Like the vast majority of spears this is a stabbing weapon, not a cutting weapon. The edges don’t need to be sharp to stab. You absolutely could waste your time and sharpen these edges but it’s clearly not designed for cutting. It’s being sold as a throwing spear and those only need to stab. The point is extremely sharp and reinforced… perfect for stabbing. If you’re looking for a pole arm that can cut, get one with a head designed to do that. But if you’re looking for an incredibly effective javelin or short, light fighting spear this is awesome.
