Hunter Spear — Hand-Forged Field Spear

Hunter Spear — Hand-Forged Field Spear with Clip-Point Blade

The Everest Forge Hunter Spear is a hand-forged field spear built for the hunt, set apart by its clip-point blade. Where most spears run to a symmetrical leaf, the Hunter's blade has a long swept clip along the back edge down to the point — the aggressive, knife-like profile that gives a clean entry and a fine, controllable tip. It rides on a slim, full-tang rosewood handle with pinned scales, and comes complete with a hand-stitched leather scabbard. Forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel reclaimed from truck springs, water-tempered, and full-tang from point to butt, it is a genuine working spear, not a wall-hanger.

At a handy 27 inches and a lively 985 grams, the Hunter is quick in the hand and easy to carry into the field — a real hunting spear you take outdoors rather than just hang up. It is built for hunters who want a capable, distinctive blade, outdoorsmen and bushcrafters after a tough field spear, and collectors drawn to the clip-point look. Like everything we make, it is forged to your spec — your blade length, finish, handle wood, and scabbard colour, with free engraving, all included.

Honest note: This is a 27-inch short hand spear, not a six-foot pole spear on a full shaft. It is built for hunting, field and camp use, thrusting, and display. If you want a full-length pole version, we forge those as a custom build.

The Clip-Point Blade

The Hunter's signature is its clip-point blade. The back of the blade runs straight from the handle, then "clips" away in a long concave sweep down to the tip — the same profile prized on serious hunting knives. On a spear, that shape does two things: it brings the point lower and more in line with the thrust for a clean, accurate entry, and it keeps the tip fine and controllable while leaving a broad belly behind it for cutting.

It is a deliberately hunting-focused blade rather than a symmetrical war-spear leaf. Paired with the light 985-gram weight and the compact 27-inch length, it makes the Hunter quick to bring on target and easy to handle in close — exactly what you want from a field and hunting spear, in real forged steel rather than a stamped or cast lookalike.

A Real Field Spear

Under the blade shape, the Hunter is forged the same way as all our working spears: a bar of 5160 spring steel hammered to shape by hand, water-tempered so the edge runs hard while the spine stays springy, and full-tang with pinned rosewood scales for a solid, reliable, knife-grade build. There is no hidden joint and no shortcut — just one solid piece of proven steel from point to butt.

That makes it a genuine working spear you can take into the field and trust — for hunting where legal, thrusting and reach work, bushcraft and camp tasks, and hard outdoor handling — while still being handsome enough to display. It is a real hunting tool first, and a good-looking one second.

Why Hunters & Outdoorsmen Choose This Spear

The clip-point blade is purpose-built. A swept back edge brings the point in line for a clean entry, with a broad belly behind it for cutting — a true hunting profile.

It is light and fast. At about 985 grams and 27 inches, it is quick in the hand and easy to carry into the field all day.

It is real forged steel. Full-tang 5160 spring steel, water-tempered and sharpened — a genuine working spear, not a cast or stainless display piece.

It is knife-built and tough. A full tang with pinned rosewood scales gives a strong, reliable handle with no hidden joints.

Total customisation is included, not upsold. Blade length, four finishes, two handle woods, six scabbard colours, and free engraving — all part of the standard build.

Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid long-term storage in the leather scabbard. Display stand or wall mount recommended.

Rust spots: Light surface rust is normal on 5160 carbon steel and easily removed with very fine steel wool (#0000 grade) and a few drops of oil.

Sharpening: Use a quality whetstone (1000-grit working) at 22–25 degrees per side. Avoid power grinders, which can ruin the temper.

Handle care: Treat the rosewood occasionally with a little wood oil to keep it from drying out.
