Often these tactical themed tools with cheap steel and glass filled nylon fiber handle are poorly designed and quick to fail, but in this case the design actually seems pretty solid and it held up well during the testing.

wow, a spear where you can unscrew the pommel!
10/10
AND MAKE FIRE WITH IT!!!
AND POKE STUFF WITH IT!!!
AND SACRIFICE CHAMPIONS TO ODIN WITH IT!!!
AND JUMP KILL A DEER!!!
It's amazing what's possible with the technology available to us in 2017.
I like tacticool spears. They make me want to dress in polyester furs and become an urban caveman who hunts buses and chases them off cliffs.
Mooting Insanity Best idea ever
This deserves my like.
I LoL’d.
Stick 'em in the belly where their body is the softest but watch out, they can be dangerous when driven mad by pain. Also as I heard passenger seats can be quite delicious if cooked the right way

In the event that it does break... Hey, now you have a dagger.
Damon Fyrian or a Zulu spear, depending on where it breaks
@@pyroparagon8945 or a pommel, depending on which side you're holding when it breaks.
@@yoursexualizedgrandparents6929 solid point.
You'll have two spears twice the killing power
@@yoursexualizedgrandparents6929 why do you inflict your CZcams name upon the world.
I thought that stump you stabbed into in the first clip was a huge rock.
Konner Thorson That would be the most impressive thing since excalibur
ThisNameCouldBeCreative OK well nippon folded 1000 Times steel could easily do that, since we all know they can cut through missiles XD
Hahaha i thought the same thing hahah
Crimson Dragoon You’ve been reading too many web forums. Lol
ThisNameCouldBeCreative OK Indeed.
Mentioning using it for digging makes me wonder if it is practical to make a sheath for a spear blade that would function as a shovel head.
Laird Cummings But they didn't keep it for a long time because it was not as good as a regular bayonet nor a trowel. Multi tools are nice but it is often better to have several tools made for one task each.
You'd have to brace it pretty heavily for that to work.
If think if you had a spear with a larger, more secured blade, you could get away with it. Especially if the bolts securing the blade could be removed when putting the sheath on, then resinserted through the whole thing. Maybe you could also just design a spear head that could also be better at shoveling, at the expense of the actual blade of course.
@Butt Snatch Well I doubt any of us are buying a spear without wings for hunting anyways. I can't even think of a scenario where a spear is the best item you could have with you unless you were specifically spear hunting. Almost any spears purchased are going to be novelty items anyways, I don't see any harm in making a shovel that has a hidden spear.
@Butt Snatch I just can't think of where I would be going where I would think, "Yeah, I need my spear AND my shovel for this endeavor!" Also I would never consider a mediocre multi-tool over the real tool for any serious use, but I can't think of a serious use for a spear. I'm not getting in a sword fight while I am out gardening, and if you are, I'd recommend moving.
It's funny how several of the comments complaining about a lack of pommel were deleted. I'm assuming the posters got to 5:52 in the video and realised it has a pommel, and they looked foolish for not watching the video before commenting.
JarrenDrahn yup, that's correct.
If the pommel isn't immediately noticeable, it loses points from the intimidation factor, their points still stand. You want that pommel to be seen right from the start of the fight so your opponent has to always worry "What if he throws that at me, I'll be ended so rightly...".
yep, that was me :P
JarrenDrahn well technically it's a spear so it's not a pommel, technically it would be a butt, as in the butt of a bad joke....
What about a weapon that has a big, obvious pommel, but it's peened in place and thus can't be unscrewed?...

Length doesn't matter, it's what you do with it.
I disagree as far as the first statement it is easier if you do not have an overwhelming amount to work with I think the more proper words would be you need to know what to do with the length you have
A D I think you dont get the joke behind it
It's all about diamter actually.
Fucking genious
This can easily turn into a sex joke

*”CLEAN MY SPEAR”*
I thought that "book" was just referred to as a joke and didn't actually exist in-game.
Would prefer something long enough to double as a walking stick. Without that feature it seels more "tactical" than "survival".
Edit: Just found out they have an extension handle for the thing. Definitely worth considering.
well that depends, cara could probably use it like a walking stick.
personaly i think this length would make it fit into a car better.
also i think you could mod this thing, it is threaded in the bottom, you take out whatever is in there and you might be able to find or make something to screw in there to extend it's length.
Sagrotan so you are implying that the "piece of hard wood" has the same amount of utility as a hardened steel bladed weapon/tool? A survival spear arguably has more utility than a hatchet or knife. You can cut wood, dig, hunt and use it as a walking stick. A spear such as this one and a sheet of tarpaulin to keep the rain, wind, sun, bugs and anything else you could think of out is about the best thing you could have.
Leo Persson: walking sticks can be made with hatchets, knives, axes and machetes easily! You need just to find a suitable piece of wood. I can't agree that a spear is more versatile than a big knife.
Sagrotan attaching a flint blade is not as easy as it sounds.
probs not that hard to alter the pommel with a more suitable hard wearing spike or nub for walking
Skall’s loose hair hanging is epic.
7:36 Robot Skall takes over the review. 👍🏻😎🤖
That sounds like the left and right sound channels are slightly out of synch
you could put pommels in the compartment to end wolves rightly
Feelz_4_Dayz but It already has a pommel
What if you're fighting more wolves which u need to end righly ?
Ariq Abdullah well what if they need more pommels
That one holds the firestarter, I think some extra ammunition would help when we need to end predators rightly
Hide a war dart inside of the spear
I think this spear would be very effective against an armoured opponent! Its basically a halfswording spear!
Luftetari Ilir wrong, too short
WolkKnight Also, soft steel
WolkKnight but a long spear i dont think would benefit! The longer the spear the harder it is to aim! And when you have to aim on a small area like the armpit i dont think being further away from it would benefit you much...think why are poleaxes short its because they are for armoured combat! Btw i mean my statement if you have armour aswell! Plus you can see short spears in many armoured manuals and i mean dueling not war btw
LonerbyNature halfswordong is finding gaps were there is no armor you dont thrust through armour with any blade.
LonerbyNature yes thats why a short spear is more effective! Also as a leaver.
My girlfriend said the same thing about my shaft. She didn't have high hopes either and was pleasntly surprised ;)
Dude...you have...screws in your...? ohw X)
All the same, you shouldn’t wrap paracord around it
@@nfadaloo It increases my stamina and she likes it...why not?

More a javelin than a spear imo. But it's still nice. Usually these "tactical/phantom/fancy black" weapons are not that good. Very interesting review.
There is no IMO. Theres set definitions for javelins and spears. No opinions involved
Hey Skallagrim, I love your vids, but would you ever consider making a video explaining the types of steel used for weapons. You always explain what type of steel a blade is made of but those numbers never really tell me anything. I'm really interested in the matter and I think you'd be the optimal person to explain it quite well. (If you already did at some point, shame on me :D)
2 legged predators..So actual Predators?
No, those guys that try to poke girls with their meat-swords.
Well, for these predators I would rather use a blunt, but well oiled wooden pole and let gravity do it's thing...

Thank you for the review. I was debating adding this to my kit. You really put it thru some good paces. I agree, it held up FAR better than I would have thought. Great job, and thanks.
A spear is actually a good weapon if you live in an antigun state or an apartment, i would add a flashlight using a shotgun mount and a tourniquet.
Kainen Akcatraz
Maybe a suppressor as well
A flashlight is a smart addition. Bright lights suddenly shined in eyes can blind for entire minutes, and doing so is a valid tactic. If I had to choose between a knife and a high lumen flashlight I would take the flashlight every time.
how would this go in texas ?? with open carry laws , ?? in Aussie you would be given free board and accommodation at one of our many serviced security housing complexes aka prisons lol.
@@blackg0076 Most of the places where you are allowed to defend yourself, you can also have a shotgun.
I just saw you review on the Schrade Phantom spear. Thank you for your honesty. I always find that to be refreshing. I have been looking for a survival spear and hesitant to buy any do to the lack of reviews. More knives and hatchets get reviewed than spears. I think it is worth the purchase from your video. I like the reviews of survival weapons from you very much as you seem to be pretty unbiased for the most part. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
it performed better than you were hoping? ;)
dominic pattberg lol, I see what you did there.
Hey Skall, you seem in good spirits. That's great to see! I hope you're doing well!
This gap between the tang and shaft is very likely to be left on purpose, this helping to reduce impact to the shaft and preventing it from splitting in half along the handle. I've seen similar detail in some stone axes.
Woo hoo!
Glad it's a decently made 'tactical' tool. Been waiting for this review, thanks for the good 10 minutes as always, Skall!
I have a little schrade folding knife that I've been using as a beater/workhorse for a couple years and it's served me quite well
You gotta love this guy. You make CZcams a better place. TY.
Spears are ideal for me when their edge is made well enough where you can use it for finer things like making kindling if needed. Obviously it’s not it’s main purpose and is a last resort to use a item so big for finer workings, but it’s always a bonus for me
This is the only channel where the subtitles match exactly what you say!!! Seriously, every other channel gets misinterpreted!
You Sir, are not only a master swordsman, but master of the spoken word too
I get a chuckle everytime I watch your videos.
“You can never have too much paracord” that is the most correct statement I’ve heard all say
Notice when he calls out the comment section nobody comments about it
Very cool, old and new mix at the same time.
I saw it online and gave been wanting it for a while. Cant wait to actually buy it
''long enough to get the job done''
Probably the most badass 2017 quote.
Great video as always Skallagrim!
Love your reviews and videos, thanks and Merry Christmas!
I wonder if there will ever be a tactical atlatl. Hehehe.
Check out the modern rogue. They did a review on a modern atlatl not too long ago
Really seeing your weightloss man! Congratz
Skallagrim in 1080p...makes me happy
why skall's voice give such insane asmr tingles?
It's not about the length of your shaft but How you handle your spear ;)
personally i think it's more about how the length of the shaft relates to the body of the user.
this one seems a little short for skall but i think it would have the right size for cara.
i do agree with your argument but... it was a dick joke.
So was his rebuttal.
oh... now i get it. nice joke Windhelm Guard
Gabriel Espíndola famoso Espíndola
I thought that he was throwing it at a rock at first so I was very impressed that it was sticking
Huh, sweet! I didn’t expect much but now I’m thinking I’ll get one
When i was looking up this spear on Amazon I noticed you can buy an extension that screws on to the end. For those that want a longer spear it could be a good option.
Ohh here is link www.amazon.com/Schrade-SCHSP-EXT1-Spear-Extension-Handle/dp/B019RSXVGK/ref=pd_sim_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CP16ZFH3W0NH6BQGBK91
Skall you should make a video talking about your top 5 favorite/recommended makers to buy from!
Never seen this guy in my life, love the way he explains, strange to watch a random video and like the guy this much, I'm hard to please 😂
About the ferro rod striker, it's quite easy to make one with an old hacksaw blade:
- Put the blade in a vice with the length you need protruding up (about 7 cm is ok)
- Cover blade and vice with a cloth
- Put your leather / working gloves on
- Bend the upper part of the blade back and forth until it breaks
- Clean any rough edge with a file or sandpaper
Always test your scraper on the ferro rod.
Having a softer steal helps prevent the blade from snapping when thrown so helps out for people who I are learning how to throw a spear or throwing knives
I have a shorter spear from the same brand, the head is very thick it comes to a alright point I found throwing it at a pine tree made the tip bend a little but other than that it worked great, I still have it.
Cool I was waiting for this.
Looking good Skall !
Hmm you can use the spear as a fishing rod i guess, but finding longer stick for the fishing line is quite nice option too. Quite happy to see fishing eq
Skal likes smooth shafts, doesn't mind if they're short, as long as they can get the job done.
I’m actually very partial to your spears, I’d love to see some more of them :)
I think I'm in love with this spear.
Not a spear guy persay myself Skall however after watching your testing I am fully confident that it is a purchase I will be making in the near future.
Thought I'd mention that you can buy an extension for the shaft if you really want extra reach. It screws in where the storage compartment is. I think it's $20 US for that.
Skall, would you make a video showing us what would be your apocalyptical setup? With your swords, and knives and whatever...
I think it would be a fun little video.
Awesome video/ As always. Thanks from Russia, Skall!)
Гражданин Земли ahoj
4:39 skall looks like the totally surprised villain in a bad action movie "how are you not dead yet?!"
You should do a found object spear build. I quite enjoyed making one.
Oh man that thing is badass. I want one!
Normally I don't like "survival" weapons, I don't like glass fiber handles at all, but this appears to be great! Might even consider buying it
Cut the shaft off an inch from the tang, round the bottom, wrap paracord tightly around the handle portion, and get scabbard made that is more appropriate for something like a boot knife or something with 2 loop attachments for securing to the leg and a built in steel reinforced belt clip with a hard metal with a square edge for a quick sharpening. It's what I'd do with mine. Make it into something similar to a military spec boot knife
Meyer describes many uses of the spear as a bludgeon. Its fundamentally a fancy quarterstaff
great job, you absolutely killed that soft rotten log, gonna buy that toy spear right now
How will this work against Lloyd’s beige armor during your duel?
Actually its perfect! Its basically a halfswording longsword but it being a spear has better grip cause there is no chance of cutting yourself on accident!
illyrian Raider the opposite of perfect actually
Best Skall quote ever "wells it's a spear, you poke thins" XD
Kinda nice spear, short but Deadly, practical when you are in tight/small spaces and you need to defend yourself, you can keep it close to you and yet you have enough range. Yep that sounds fine to me, it's cheap but effective :) Nice review
checking the amazon store the first thing that came up is an extension section to make it 15 inches longer
I do find myself drawn to these kinds of survival tools, but most of them tend to be rather cheap with limited durability. If you are giving this an okay, I'll definitely pick one up. Thank you!
6:49 When the sparks fly from your Spear and you don't notice! 😂
Sounds like it would be a good choice for someone on a budget, the choice of blade material reminds me of how most bayonets are made, considering cost and the abuse they're likely to endure making something that could hold an edge better and not shatter on impact would raise the cost significantly.
Excellent review
Nice review ! What about the Cold Steel Bushman in spear mode versus that one ?
Blevara Agreed!
Not gonna lie, in the first 5 seconds; the one strand of hair made me laugh because I thought you did it on purpose and you like poking fun. Love the video, love the channel CHEERS!
My aunt got this for me im 14 5,11 so i think its pretty good i only see it for hunting small animals or for a training spear... Ps thanks for making you videos so awesome.
Companies get better at heat treating metals and getting the full potential and my opinion if i would get a survival spear i wanted to be easily sharp able in the field where i needed it
Having a smooth shaft would seem more important on longer spears. Not questioning your expertise but, the paracord seems like a good idea to me
Great video. I really appreciate your honest reviews. Can you recommend a spear that is made from good quality steel? Like something you'd actually be happy to own?
The Cold Steel Boar Spear is a bangup survival spear. I've seen a bushman in the Khalahari (Documentary) dig a porcupine out with one (And lots of friends with other tool/weapons.) Don't even have to socket the haft to them, they have a belt sheathe for it. Sheaf throws pretty good too. (Slip throw from the hand, point first, no flip.) A spearfighter like you should have a 5 gallon bucket of them for home defense. Best beater for the money on the market. (2 knives, a sharp little knife, or fencing sword, and a Beater, so the sharp one stay sharp. I don't throw my skinning knife, or try to fight off bears with it, and I don't carry a shovel.)
Oh yeah, 2 things I don't carry into the woods: Sticks, and Fuel.
If you want the spear longer, there is the Schrade SCHSP-EXT1 Spear Extension Handle
Apparently you can get a handle extension on Amazon for around 18 dollars US. Do you think it's necessary or worth it?
Yeah I've got one and at 6ft tall it's too short so I got the extension and made it perfect
Might have to get one. Seen it before but questioned it's quality given it's price.
Can you please make a video highlighting all your spears and some of your favorites?
It is also possible to buy extra length with the spear which is nice.
I think it will make a fine CQ combat, home defense, bedside SHTF option.
Damn a shaft that thick would be, exciting to get my hands on
Modify the thick curved part of the blade where it flares in the shaft. Take a thin file and basically make knurls on it and then you can use the Fire starter with that surface and not damage the edge
2:22 THICC BLADE
‘The shaft is usually smooth for the hand to slide up and down it.’
It would be interesting if you could attach the blade to a collapsible metal pole (something similar to a police baton) that way you can have a solid blade knife and a spear
Optional longer length shafts would be good. I'd seriously consider buying one if I could get it in a 6' to 7' overall length. Using it as a walking staff would make it more useful overall, instead of being something else to just carry around. I'd go $100 USD in a 6' staff.
It's similar to my united cutlery m48 spear. I had to wrap my own paracord around mine. Didn't come with its own. Also the m48 steel is a 2cr.
These great weapons are meant for flesh and bone and that's it. I don't throw mine around.
The length seems comparable to an iklwa, which would make it useful for use in close quarters combat.
With that little fishing kit hidden in the hollow handle , is anyone else having flashbacks to the old pos “Rambo” knives ?
That strand of hair doe 😆😆😆👍👍👍
