Check out this Modern interpretation of an Iklwa spear we just made at Kailash Blades!
The Iklwa is traditionally a zulu weapon and a variant of the assegai. The iklwa has a shorter shaft and a longer, broader blade that is used as a slashing weapon as well as for thrusting. This particular blade is 5160 with an integral forged bolster, full length hidden tang and forged plate pommel. And would you look at that Hamon?
Specs:
13" Blade
20" Handle
1.5kg with a balance point 4" behind the bolster
What do you guys think? Too pretty to throw? Or would this be a perfect zombie apocalypse tool?
