The Cold Steel Assegai Spear with Short Staff is a modern interpretation of one of history's most iconic spear designs, built with the durability and performance that Cold Steel is known for. Combining a formidable blade, a strong hardwood shaft, and rugged construction throughout, this spear delivers an impressive presence whether displayed as part of a collection or appreciated for its craftsmanship and historical inspiration.
Measuring 37.25" overall, the Assegai strikes a balance between maneuverability and reach. Its compact dimensions make it easier to handle and transport than larger pole weapons while still providing the commanding appearance and functionality expected from a traditional spear design. The shorter staff configuration offers enhanced control and responsiveness, making it a standout addition to any collection of historical or tactical-inspired tools.
At the center of the design is a substantial 17.25" spear head assembly featuring a 13.25" dual-edge blade crafted from SK-5 medium carbon steel. Renowned for its toughness and ability to withstand demanding use, SK-5 steel has long been favored in applications where strength and durability are critical. The dual-edge configuration enhances the spear's aggressive profile, while the black finish provides a rugged appearance and an added layer of protection against wear and environmental exposure.
Supporting the spear head is a durable American ash wood handle. Ash has been used for centuries in tool and weapon shafts due to its excellent combination of strength, flexibility, and shock resistance. The natural brown wood finish complements the dark blade, creating a classic appearance that reflects the spear's traditional roots while maintaining the robust quality expected from modern manufacturing.
Cold Steel designed this spear with durability in mind, ensuring that both blade and shaft work together as a cohesive, dependable unit. The result is a piece that feels substantial in hand and showcases the company's commitment to producing rugged, hard-use designs inspired by historical weapons.
For storage and protection, the Assegai includes a black Secure-Ex sheath. Known for its toughness and resistance to moisture and environmental conditions, Secure-Ex helps protect the blade while making transportation and storage more convenient. The spear arrives boxed and ready for display, collection, or appreciation by enthusiasts of historical arms and outdoor gear.
With its imposing profile, premium materials, and attention to detail, the Cold Steel Assegai Spear with Short Staff delivers a compelling blend of historical inspiration and modern durability.
