SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Boar Head Spear Head with Sheath is built for those who appreciate historical weapons that still deliver modern performance. Inspired by spear designs that trace their lineage to the European Renaissance, this formidable spear head reflects a time when reliability, strength, and reach were critical to survival. Crafted by Cold Steel, it combines traditional form with contemporary materials and heat treatment to meet the expectations of today’s collectors, reenactors, and weapon enthusiasts.
Forged from SK-5 high carbon steel, the Boar Head Spear Head offers excellent toughness, edge retention, and resilience under stress. The steel is heat treated to a spring temper, allowing the blade to flex slightly rather than fail when subjected to hard use. This treatment mirrors the functional philosophy of historical spear heads, which were designed to endure powerful thrusts and repeated impacts without cracking or snapping. The long, leaf-shaped profile provides excellent penetration, while the broad cutting surfaces enhance its visual presence and effectiveness.
Measuring an impressive 18.5 inches long overall, this spear head delivers serious reach and authority once mounted. Its proportions are faithful to classic boar spear designs, making it well suited for period displays, historical study, or custom weapon builds. The open socket construction allows it to be fitted to a shaft of your choosing, giving you full control over balance, length, and handling characteristics. Whether paired with ash, hickory, or another hardwood, the result can be tailored to match your specific vision.
For safe storage and transport, the spear head includes a durable Secure-Ex sheath. This rigid, weather-resistant sheath protects the blade and surroundings while reinforcing its role as a serious edged tool rather than a decorative piece. It’s ideal for keeping the spear head protected when not mounted or when displayed as part of a collection.
The Cold Steel Boar Head Spear Head is an excellent choice for collectors seeking authenticity, craftsmen building a custom polearm, or enthusiasts who value historically inspired designs executed with modern precision. Shaft not included, allowing you to complete the weapon exactly the way you want.
