The boar spear has been the preferred hunting tool in the dense forests of Europe for over two centuries. It has also seen action on the battlefield. With its unique wide leaf-shaped blade and dual cutting edges, it excels in both cutting and thrusting. The robust cross quillons provide excellent protection against any kind of danger, be it from animals or otherwise. Cold Steel has recreated this timeless spear using cold forging techniques, using medium carbon SK-5 steel that is heat treated to a spring temper. This ensures that the spear flexes under pressure instead of breaking. The Boar Spear is accompanied by a sturdy Secure-Ex Sheath and a heavyweight American Ash shaft.
