SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Condor African Congo Spear is a striking blend of cultural heritage and modern craftsmanship, designed for collectors, history enthusiasts, and those who value functional, historically inspired weapons. Modeled after traditional spears once carried by warriors in Central Africa, particularly the Kuba Kingdom, this piece honors the significance these tools held in both combat and ceremony. Its distinct silhouette and handcrafted features pay homage to the artistry and practical ingenuity of Africa’s tribal past.
At the heart of the spear is a 13.2-inch double-edged spear point blade forged from 1045 high-carbon steel. This steel type is chosen for its balanced hardness and resilience, making the spear suitable for functional use while preserving its authentic feel. The blade undergoes heat treatment to improve durability and edge retention, then is finished with a raw, unpolished metal surface that enhances its rugged, historical appearance.
The handle is crafted from solid burnt hardwood and wrapped with paracord, providing both visual authenticity and a secure, grippy texture. The darkened wood grain gives the spear an aged, time-worn look that elevates its display value while supporting real-world use. Measuring a commanding 64.4 inches overall, the spear makes an imposing statement whether mounted in a collection or carried in the field. Weighing 39.2 ounces, it balances heft with manageability, making it a versatile tool for reenactment, bushcraft demonstrations, or cultural showcases.
A handcrafted welted leather sheath is included, offering secure transport and traditional presentation. This sheath underscores Condor Tool & Knife’s commitment to quality, combining function and craftsmanship for protection and display. Whether you're a collector of ethnographic blades, a survivalist interested in traditional tools, or simply drawn to unique edged weapons, the African Congo Spear stands out as both art and utility.
The Condor African Congo Spear is a modern reinterpretation of ceremonial African weaponry, built with durable materials and designed for practical or decorative use.
