Elk Ridge - Outdoors - Spear – Spire, Black Fine Edge Spear Point Blade with Black Injection Molded Nylon Fiber Handle with Universal Thread for Broom Stick, Nylon Sheath– Spire, ER-SP002BK

Comes sharp. Holds a edge ok. Handle unscrews and holds good

I had bought the other version of a similar type of spear from Smith & Wesson, quite some time ago. However, I had permanently fastened it to a painter's pole handle which makes go from short sword length to thus extend it to spear length. So having a spare broom handle I wanted to have another type of knife to do a similar thing with, I ordered this item from Elk Ridge. For those that entered a review about the handle "not unscrewing or coming off", there's a tiny screw to hold it in place. Whether or not, this screw is supposed to be kept or not, I don't know but overall the spear/knife does as advertised. After having tested it a bit, I would for use as a knife just keep that screw handy to add to the structural integrity of the blade staying put on the handle mount. I also found that it is well balanced for throwing whether as a whole knife or just the blade head separate from the handle itself. And even the handle by itself, makes for a good force multiplier/palm stick (yawara/shubo/kubaton). So overall a very versatile tool and worthwhile purchase.

It came just as it looks for the most part. There was a big of water on the screw that keeps it from unscrewing. Other than that it's a great item.

What I was looking for. I wanted a spear head for a martial arts staff. I had a standard hard wood long broom handle that I was using as a staff/bo in training . This spear point is the perfect size and weight, large enough and small enough. It has a set screw to hold it tight to the handle, Took the handle off and the spear head screwed right on to the broom handle perfectly, and the set screw locked it firmly in place. I am more than happy with it. The feel of it when in training is just what I was looking for. I didn't want a heavy and long spear head. This spear head feels like it matches the pole. The broom handle was the slimmer broom handle, not the larger 1 1/8in handle. The sheath fits the head and snaps onto the pole.

This is my second one of these. My other one is getting a bit rusty after being outside in the salty, hot, humid air of southwest florida for about 8 years now. Besides the SOG SPIRIT this is the only one of these spear point blades that has a socking screw to stop it from slipping on the handle/broom handle. I've used this for everything from spearing snakes, coons, possums and other critters trying to kill my barn cats and chickens. It's an amazing blade and would recommend it to any/everyone

I just wanted to let people know, that if you decide to use this product as a spear, you may have to experiment with various handles. When I tried to screw the metal handle into it, I could only seat maybe two threads, not what I expected. So I tried a wooden handle and had no problem. I also tried two different plastic handles and had no problem.As I wanted the security of a metal handle, I thought it best just to take the blade to Lowes and try it out on different metal handles. I tried several different ones and except for one, which was a wooden handle with a metal tip, I just couldn’t find one that fit. I’m sure there are some out there. I’m content with a wooden handle with a metal tip. So don’t give up, there are handles out there that will fit. Good product and I’m happy with my purchase.

For the price I supposeI should have guessed it would be cheap material.The handle broke after just being dropped from about 3 ft maybe less. The blades still ok but it was a pain getting the broken part out. I'll buy something higher quality next time.
