Mesa Spear — Hand-Forged Short Spear

Mesa Spear — Hand-Forged Short Spear with Turquoise Accents

The Everest Forge Mesa Spear is a compact, hand-forged short spear with a character all its own. The broad leaf blade runs to a strong point and sits on a long rosewood handle set with decorative turquoise stone accents — bands of blue-green stone inlaid into the wood that give the spear a warm, Southwest-inspired look you will not find anywhere else in our range. It comes complete with a hand-stitched leather sheath built for back carry, so it rides comfortably across your back and leaves your hands free on the move. Forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, oil-tempered for toughness and edge stability, and full-tang, it is a real working short spear, not a decorative piece.

At 26 inches it is shorter than a battlefield spear but longer and more authoritative than a knife or dagger — the compact form long favoured for hunting, tracking, and close work because it is mobile, accurate, and versatile. It is built for hunters and outdoorsmen, throwers, and collectors who want a short spear with real visual character. Like everything we make, it is forged to your spec — choose your blade finish and scabbard colour, with free engraving, all included.

Honest note: This is a 26-inch short hand spear, not a six-foot pole spear on a full shaft. It is built for hunting, throwing practice, field and camp use, thrusting, and display. If you want a full-length pole version, we forge those as a custom build.

The Turquoise Accents

What sets the Mesa apart is its handle. Bands of decorative turquoise stone are inlaid into the rosewood, their blue-green colour standing against the dark grain for a warm, Southwest-inspired look. It is a detail drawn from the long tradition of decorating fine hunting weapons with stone and natural materials, and it gives the Mesa a character none of our other spears share — as much an object to display as a tool to use.

The stonework is decorative rather than structural: the strength comes from the full-tang 5160 steel running through the handle, while the turquoise simply makes the spear yours to admire. It is the kind of distinctive touch that turns a working short spear into a centrepiece.

A Real Short Spear, Built to Carry

Under the decoration, the Mesa is a genuine working spear. The broad leaf blade is hand-forged from 5160 spring steel and oil-tempered — a heat treatment that builds in toughness, durability, and edge stability for repeated use. The full-tang construction runs the steel unbroken through the handle, and the long handle balances the forward weight of the blade for control in the hand or in a controlled throw.

It also comes ready to carry. The included leather sheath is built for back carry, with a strap system that holds the spear securely across your back and keeps your hands free as you move — mirroring how hunters historically carried a short spear on the trail. It is a spear meant to be taken out and used, not just hung up, though it looks the part on a wall too.

Why Hunters & Collectors Choose This Spear

The turquoise accents are unique. Inlaid blue-green stone in a rosewood handle gives the Mesa a Southwest character no other spear in our range has.

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

It is built to carry. The leather back-carry sheath rides across your back and keeps your hands free on the move.

It is compact and versatile. Short enough for mobility and close work, balanced for both thrusting and controlled throwing.

Customisation is included, not upsold. Four blade finishes, six sheath colours, and free engraving — all part of the standard build.

Care & Maintenance

After every use: Wipe the blade clean and dry. Apply a thin coat of light oil (mineral oil, camellia oil, or 3-in-1 oil).

Turquoise & handle care: Keep the handle dry and treat the rosewood occasionally with a little wood oil. Avoid knocking the stone accents against hard surfaces, as inlaid stone can chip.

Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid long-term storage in the leather sheath. 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.
