Assegai Long Spear I bought the Assegai spear with the long shaft as I didn’t have a quality spear in my collection. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the piece when it arrived. For the cost, it’s a well built weapon. The steel spearhead comes with a nice edge. The size and shape give it a very traditional if somewhat intimidating appearance, and the sheath is very well built. I’m not sure what kind of wood they used for the shaft, but the shaft doesn’t have a lot of heft to it and is a rich brown color, similar to loam. The whole spear when assembled, which is extremely easy to do using the two provided wood screws, is lightweight enough to use easily with one hand, or even to throw moderate distances. I like the fact that the spearhead is easily removable from the shaft, as part of why I wanted this specific model was to use the shaft as a walking stick, and carry the spearhead and wood screws in my pack. This is an excellent spear, and for $50 as of February 2017, it’s very competitively priced.
