Cold Steel Samburu Spear, Multi, One Size
Description
The Samburu tribe who inhabit Kenya’s rugged northern frontier are a tall,
lean people who eke out a living as semi-nomadic herders of sheep, goats,
donkeys, camels and cattle. The warriors of the tribe known as “Lmurran” are
particularly impressive, as they never cut their long braided hair and
decorate their faces and torsos in beautifully intricate patterns using a
cosmetic mixture made from animal fat and red ochre. Since their flocks and
herds are constantly menaced by predators and subject to raids by lawless
“Shiftas” (bandits) from Somalia, they seldom venture outside their “Kraals”
(a kind of makeshift hut) without being thoroughly armed. In fact, no warrior
worthy of his name would think of being caught without his spears. You see,
the Samburu warrior’s seven foot long throwing spear is the most advanced,
state of the art spear of its type on the planet. With this extraordinary
spear, warriors routinely dispatch marauding leopards, lions and even firearm
toting bandits at unheard of distances. Each of our Samburu spears break down
into three components: The first is the spear head itself, permanently welded
to a thick steel shaft. Second is the counter balancing butt spike also known
as the shoe. This is used as an alternative point for practice throwing,
preserving the actual spear blade itself for more serious work. Third is the
black, U.S. Made Hickory handle with a double taper connecting the head and
shoe. The Samburu spears come unassembled for ease of transportation. All you
have to do is fit the blade and butt spike tightly to the handle and attach
them with the provided retaining screws. They come complete with a Secure-Ex
sheath. These spears could be described as the 300 Winchester Magnum of the
spear world. They can be used at long range, fly straight, have a flat
trajectory, hit hard and penetrate deep. Like the 300 Win Mag, they can be
used to take any animal in North America. NOTE: We’ve made our Samburu spears
as tough as possible. However, if you bend your spear shaft or “shoe” (butt
spike), it can be easily straightened in a vise or with a hammer, and the
tough hickory handle of your spear can eventually break, so please be prepared
to replace it.
