“18&1/2 inches of Cold Steel sharpness at the end of a 5'9" long by 1&1/2" dia. Ash shaft - If you're standing in the path of a charging boar you want to know you can rely on your sticker! With this spear you can. Excellent quality steel and good edge retention, great heft in the hand and a socket that fits. When it comes to sticking I'll stick to the Cold Steel Boar spear and the great service at Extac every-time!!”
