osage 0 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Thought some of you Boar hunters might be interested in the picture of a Boar spear I have just made for a client in America, I believe he wants it for hunting Razorbacks. It is copied from a 15th century German spear. It's hand forged from Carbon steel with a tempered edge and a spring steel Tee piece to stop the animal traveling up the shaft.

BlueCoyote 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 beautiful piece of work, i'd like to see that in action! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pops 19 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 no disrespect to you Osage. but why order outside the country when you can get a very nice working one from Cold Steel delivered to your door about $100. it's not going to be quite as pretty but neither will yours if they really put it to use. oh well, thats the nice thing about this country we can still pretty much buy whatever we want and can afford w/o any explanations to the neighbors.

BlueCoyote 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 there's no telling why the guy ordered from the UK, but i cant fault him for it. i know people from the US that order collars and dog harnesses from over seas when there are sources in the US lol i guess its bragging rights? sounds better if it comes from across the ocean.. only guessing though.

Simoman 110 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I went to hear a well resepted terrierman talk and he explained all about his trips to Germany hunting boars and using spears. Interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the reasons he bought the spear from me where, All my weapons/tools have a lifetime guarantee and each one is hand forged and made to clients specs, if you buy one from cold steel you don't get much choice and they are probably mass produced in China for about $10 each. Plus mine is prettier?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCoyote 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 that makes sense to me, Osage. and that was my thoughts .. it is very pretty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pops 19 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) Osage the cold steel assegai & boar spear are produced in the states (however their machetes are made in south africa). but they are definitely NOT even close to being as pretty as yours. i guess it was kind of like asking why order a Holland & Holland double when you can get a nice Remington 700 right here. the Remington will kill them just as dead but w/o the class and elegance. i can't remember the last time i was accused of having too much class and elegance. i'm not saying it hasn't happend (it might have), i'm just saying i don't remember it.

Jim Grant 4 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Osage. Nice piece of work. I just wonder what use a lifetime guarantee is worth if you are shite at sticking pigs. Just a thought :aikido: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
