Traditional Zulu stabbing spear. Hand-made by a genuine South African Bladesmith.
Spear is made battle ready and based on official historical examples from the South African National Museum of Military History in Johannesburg, Hand-crafted by expert Bladesmiths with a passion for Anglo-Zulu war history.
Blades are forged from spring steel then hardened and tempered. The blade has a hammered forge finish. Shafts are African hard wood: Matumi, Tambotie or Kiaat. The binding for the spear is a copper wire.
The name 'Iklwa' is a phonetic derived from the sound the spear makes when it's withdrawn from the body. The perfect opportunity for fans of the Anglo-Zulu war & Zulu warrior culture to show off a stunning piece.
The Spear is crafted by Rutherford Forge, established in 2004, Johannesburg North, South Africa.
