Spear update:
I machined the spear to shaft connection which will be bolted to the spearhead and welded to a 1.25 OD/1" ID 4 ft aluminum shaft. The OAL will be just over 5 ft. I re-engineered the shaft connection and decided to weld vs thread the connection because the weld is stronger than a material removing threaded connection. Pics to follow.
Jeff

I'll invite you to go hog hunting; I want to see you toss that thing.  I've make and sold a lot of pig knives for those with more stones than me. I don't want to get tht close to a pig, most of the pigs I that I get that close to are already grave yard dead..  Again, good job Jeff.

Would this be considered lunging spear rather than a throwing spear?

YES - Thrusting/lunging/plunging/stabbing/pushing/poke/shove/jam...Semantics...the spear never leaves your grip. Thanks for looking. Jeff Would this be considered lunging spear rather than a throwing spear?
