Elk Ridge Evolution Spear Knife - ERE-SP001-BK

As advertised, quite a bit better in fact. Serious heft. Came today, just ordered a second one. Fits on anything with a broom handle thread, including adjustable extension poles.

I used to it make a spear. The blade comes with decent sheath also.

Very sturdy...Just need to make a pole to connect it to.

On the plus side, this is a huge, heavy, beast of a thing. It is thick and solid and feels like it could take a lot of punishment. The handle does come off and the threaded bit seems strong enough to take the stresses of actually using it as a spear. Also it's pretty inexpensive for something so chunky.On the minus side... This thing is dull. Not like sharpen a bit with a stone then hone dull, like take a file or grinder to it dull. It technically has an edge, but it's more of a corner. Also it supposedly has a compass or something in it? I think I can hear it rattling in there, but there doesn't seem to be any actual way to get in to it. Honestly this wasn't why I bought it (I didn't even notice it was supposed to be there when I did) but it's a bit annoying. I have a guess about which part is supposed to unscrew, but it's only a guess because it doesn't.

Useful but you'll need to make a spear handle or use a thick wood I don't advise brrom plastic but use metalUse ducktape on the pole shaft before putting it inside you want a sturdy handle and use string for easy transportation

Solid product

BLUF: I think I got a ‘bad batch’. I just got this yesterday - here are my observations, right out-of-the-box. (I wish I could post pics, but the review site is not allowing me to do so?...)PROs:-Weight - not too heavy, but not too flimsy either; about the weight of a hammer.-Spearhead is (understandably) not too sharp, but nothing a little sharpening can’t fix.-Sheath seems adequate, but I may add a pocket on to it to make it more versatile.-Threw some ranger bands on the handle and, along with the weight, it feels solid.CONs:-Compass doesn’t work; it’s free-floating, won’t hold a bearing, and you can’t read it during low light. I replaced mine with a liquid-filled compass that glows in the dark (of note, replacing the compass was easy to do, as the glue that was holding it in was not that strong...which is another ding?)-Survival kit is ‘ok’...but I’m going to be building my own. The kit container is plastic, looks worn/used, and is definitely NOT waterproof. Luckily, the storage compartment has a rubber o-ring on it; but should water/moisture get in, I don’t think there’s anything from stopping any further water intrusion into the kit itself. The kit contains a fish hook, line, a blade, and some matches but, again, I’m going to be swapping these out for items I have used (and trusted) before.-The spearhead is bent...by about (5-6) degrees; not too much, but still noticeable. It was only when I actually looked to see how straight the spearhead was, did I notice it. Again, I wish I could post pictures (this is freakin’ unbelievable...I wanna cry). I gave high marks for sturdiness and durability, because it is sturdy, and seems durable, but I ‘hope-to-God’ this thing doesn’t fail if/when the situation calls for it (camping/hiking). The blade says ‘handmade...’, but I think whomever put mine together was having a ‘bad day’...I wanted to like this thing...like I stated previously, I think my order was a ‘factory reject’, so it may just be me (by the looks of some of the other comments I see, I think that’s the case). I hope other folks will have a better experience...

What i like about this spear head is the style, the sharpness, it comes with a cover for the tip of the spear and that it comes with a case which you can also loop it through your belt. The only thing that I don't like is when you order the spear head and it says that it goes well with those attachments pipes/poles which it allows you to adjust to your height. Those poles/Staff part, comes separately which you can screw off and on but it doesn't fit the spear head. That's like false advertisement to match the spear heads with those pipes!
