She was at a garage sale and found one of those "fantasy" blades with the plastic skull on it for only $2. The plastic was cracked (ceramic?) but the blade was decent enough. Mrs. RW knows that I'm always looking for broken stuff that can be used for my little DIY projects.<br /><br />Anyway, took the "crap" off and had a decent looking spear point blade (length 5.5 inches) with an inch and half tang on it. Put a slot in my stick, added the spear point and secured it with a couple of rivet pins through holes in the blade tang and then wrapped it with cord. Now I have a spear with a 4" point on it.<br /><br />Total length is approximately 5'6" and is fairly sturdy with the rivets holding the spear point. I still have a short throwing spear that was made using an old knife blade.<br /><br />Only one problem now. Lil' RW is going to want one also...just not sure if a big spear in the hands of a six year old is a good idea...<br /><br /><br />It's a lot more useful than it was in its previous condition.<br /><br />Thanks Ken.<br /><br />RW<br /><br />BTW, works pretty good when I tried it out..riverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-31210745368678260812011-07-22T14:34:56.813-05:002011-07-22T14:34:56.813-05:00To; sel

I keep a paracord lanyard with a brass screw eye for attaching it to a pole. Not for a spear, but it makes a dandy pole cutter, for those mesquite limbs that are waaaay up there out of reach of loppers.<br /><br />I forgot where it was I read it, but someone had mentioned that a good use for keys that no longer work (or you forgot what they fit) make decent projectile points when filed down. Softish metal, so it doesn't take a lot - good way to gain free 'arrowheads'.<br /><br />Great post Riverwalker - have a good weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-18933811881322996822011-07-22T12:11:08.295-05:002011-07-22T12:11:08.295-05:00...hey RW,quick question,what did ya use for the s......hey RW,quick question,what did ya use for the spear tip..?Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559414057439356066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-27476617267414541542011-07-22T09:50:48.180-05:002011-07-22T09:50:48.180-05:00Thanks so much for all the tips you bring to us. ...Thanks so much for all the tips you bring to us.
