The Cold Steel MAA Wing Spear is a modern reproduction of a historical polearm design that incorporates features commonly associated with winged spears used in various regions of Europe. Measuring 89" overall, this model combines a long ash wood shaft with a substantial steel spearhead, resulting in a piece that reflects the proportions and appearance of traditional battlefield arms.
The spearhead is manufactured from 1055 carbon steel and features a black finish. Measuring approximately 24" in length, the blade has a broad profile that contributes to the spear's distinctive appearance. The design includes pronounced wings positioned at the base of the blade. Historically, these projections served multiple purposes, including helping control penetration depth and providing additional options for weapon manipulation during martial practice and historical demonstrations.
Supporting the head is a 65" shaft crafted from ash wood. Ash has long been valued for its combination of strength, resilience, and flexibility, making it a traditional choice for polearm construction. The natural brown finish of the shaft contrasts with the dark spearhead, creating a classic visual presentation consistent with historical examples.
As part of the Man at Arms (MAA) series, this spear emphasizes functional construction and historical-inspired design rather than decorative embellishment. The focus is placed on durable materials, authentic proportions, and practical craftsmanship. The black-finished 1055 carbon steel and hardwood shaft work together to create a piece suitable for display, collection, historical study, and reenactment settings.
The winged spear design remains one of the more recognizable variations of historical polearms due to its unique profile and long-standing presence in military history. This reproduction captures those characteristics while utilizing modern manufacturing methods to ensure consistency and durability.
Suitable for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and reenactors, the Cold Steel MAA Wing Spear offers an interpretation of a classic polearm pattern that showcases the materials, dimensions, and design elements associated with traditional winged spears.
