Who doesn’t need a spear?? You never know when you might need it to get the last pickle from the bottom of the jar. Be safe with your new toy caveman. 👍
I think we can all agree the last pickle is more than enough of a good reason to justify the purchase of a spear. Brittany Spears approves of this message...
@@gideonsstuffThe Cold Steel and the Tim Wells blowguns are the best on the market. If you do go blowgun, get one of those. Stay away from the "toy" blowguns.
It's not very aerodynamic for throwing, but it could persuade a vicious dog or coyote not to get too close, lest they end up gored. How about a hiking stick... if a tad more length were added?
@@gregewing3916 I am looking at the Cold Steel Spirit for this reason too. It looks to me like that spear head could easily be mounted on a long walking stick/rake handle.
@@gideonsstuff Well here in Texas you have to take a hog with a spear, it is a rite of passage to call yourself a Texan. Now if you use a dagger, you are a super Texan.
I've seen people hunt with modern spears. This would definitely get the job done. Me and my dad made a fishing spear when i was a kid. It had a oak pole, and two bambo pints with barbs carved into them. It actually works pretty well.
“It didn’t break…today” 😂 I think I saw Barney White peaking out behind you at one point. Maybe he wants to see what the caveman can do with a spear too 😂
I knew this was gonna be a goofy video, but that's what I was looking forward to. Sometimes you gotta just enrich your inner caveman and do some stupid shit with a smile on your face; I know it certainly put a smile on mine. That aside, the twirling you did at the end gave me anxiety, lmao; you handled the spear way better than I expected.
I can tell you from personal experience, that spears are and where not just for Shaka Zulu and his tribe. They the spears are actually fun to throw , and surprisingly easy to throw with deadly force and also pretty easy to hit a target right where you want to. Another thing is a spear is I would say accurate to a distance of around over 100 feet easily. I have a simple spear I made a couple of years ago, it's just a eight inch double sided throwing knife, attached to a aluminum metal former broom handle.
I've got the Reaper Tac Javelin. It's great for reaching dry branches for kindling. Just a tool to add to fire making equipment. Also, you can cut blackberry bushes or other prickly bush if they are overgrown on a trail. That way you don't get stuck by a thorn. You can also use it to get fruit from a tree, if it's too high, or out of reach. also, good defense against rabid racoons, or tasmanian devils😂
My son bought the set with the kukri! We live in S. AL, he won't camp without them, mostly river trips, so protection from snakes or maybe alligators...
I got arrested in California for a knife that was about the same dimensions as that, but with a knife handle instead of a spear handle. Posession of an illegal weapon : A Dirk or Dagger - Being that it's a knife sharpened on both edges. But as a throwing knife it was nasty, because it would penetrate about 4 inches through a 1/2" piece of plywood.
@@Fordgroup00 I was sleeping in my car and someone saw me and I guess it bugged them and they called the cops. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem, but there was a typo on my car registration 1 digit was off, and that was probable cause, especially because I was from out of state. So they booked me on grand theft auto and possession or an illegal weapon
Tires make pretty good body armor against stabby, slashy things. Shadiversity did a video on it, after cutting some tires up and fitting them to a dummy. No wonder your spear couldn’t get through that tire.
This video is so random for me. My brother and I used to hunt hogs in Florida and we talked about trying it using similar spears we had seen, may have been this one I don't know, but it was a crazy idea we used to talk about jumping out of a tree stand on top of a hog with spears but we never got to do it. He's gone now and I don't hunt hogs or ride motorcycles anymore. Thanks for the memories with this random video.
1. Tires are 0ractically kryptonite to melee weapons. They are a web like latticework of steel cords interwoven and coated in rubber thats designed to withstand both highspeed cuts, abbrassives and flexion. 2. All ur power goes into deforming the tire, not a true test, u wud absolutely pierce the sidewall of the tire, there is no steel wire there just rubber under pressure, the pressure will give you spear a chance to penetrate, soft rubber will just flex. 3. Thats not a throwing spear, its closer to a javelin, a bad one. Its half a spear, twice the downsides none of the upsides. 4. Spears are thrown in two cases, its a skirmisher throwing a javelin in offenses to weigh down defender shields, and defensively before retreat to drag down enemy shields allowing friendly archers to grt em.
Yeah tires are super tough, but I saw one lying and there and thought "Why not?" And javelins are throwing spears. This spear is not a throwing spear, it's modeled after thrusting spears.
When we were teenagers my buddy threw a knife at a tree and it bounced directly back at his face. He had good reflexes and caught in his hand. By caught, I mean the blade penetrated his hand at a perpendicular angle. Tires are more bouncy than trees.
The M48 brand and also the Schrade brand has their own spear versions of that SOG spear that aesthetically look like that spear. That SOG spear looks more high quality than the two before mentioned brands 🤷🏻♂️
Have to disagree with you there 😂 The blade geometry is way thicker than it needs to be and I really don't think the whole thing will stand up to prolonged use
Since the package says it's for bushcraft use take it to a bushcraft class and see how it's used. Or contact SOG and ask them what they had in mind. Other than stabbing things what else do you do with it? Shovel? Tent stake? We know it can be used for hunting and personal defense against in animal. Are there accessories? Can you change the spear head? Use it like a knife or an axe?
420 is NOT an upgrade from 3cr13. Regular 420 only has about 0.15% carbon while 3cr13 has about 0.3% carbon. 420HC is an entirely different steel and is similar to 5cr14 or so. But of course toughness is more important than edge retention in heavy weapons like spears, so 3cr13 or 420 do okay in such heavy weapons. A mid-carbon alloy like 1050 would be best for toughness with some edge retention if not over-hardened. Sort of like axe steel - 1045 to 5160 territory.
so does every hardware store, just sharpen that shovel up nice and sharp. You now have a spear that nobody will look twice at because it's a common yard tool.
I have 2 or 3 cold steel spears if you get a tree stand & a spear if you drop it & there is a deer OR Pig under it you have meat the weight will help ,The thickness will help ,just run a file across it a few times !
How thick is the geometry of your spear blades? I've handled a couple Cold Steel spears and they are significantly thinner than this one and much broader.
Dig yourself a pit you can conceal yourself in on a game trail (such as elk, deer or some kind of big game) and test your skills. See what you can bag!
"Being a youtuber is cringe." Truth. And I don't mean that as a putdown, because I watch a ton of youtube, and I think a lot of youtubers are good people. But I think if you walk around talking to a camera and recording yourself, and you DON'T feel that little cringe in the back of your head, then you might have a problem. You've lived long enough to become the enemy. Know what I mean? It's kind of an ego thing. The cringe keeps you humble.
You aren't in a place with a lot of brush. I am and I have similar tools I cut Kudzu vines out of reach of my machete with. So yes, properly sharpened, they do have uses. We should also note convicted felons can also be consumers but current laws restrict their ability to purchase firearms for hunting and survival after the nuclear war begins. This provides a legal alternative implement for them to use as they struggle to survive in the post apocalyptic environment. :) Also I have a single mom neighbor who because of her small children doesn't want a gun in her house. I think this would be a perfect Christmas gift to give her. 😁
You know what, as far as all the comments trying to say this spear is a legitimate weapon go... I like your point about convicts the best. Maybe a spear is a good option for people who can't buy a gun. I would recommend that they get a higher quality one than this though 😂
I have a harbor freight survival knife that I threaded on to a hiking staff I bought at Zion N.P. works great!...have it by my bed as a back up home defense tool...
Its main purpose is for penetration and not cutting. Rubber is too resistant as not enough force is produced, and the blade is rather thiccck. Soft targets would be a better choice for that spear. I feel it would be good for camping or hiking as a protective tool against bears, mountain lions, or other big wild animals. That is just my opinion. I wouldn't call it totally useless. You just have to be creative. 🤷♂️
In the next video I make, we'll have a lot more targets. But at the end of the day... this is a cheaply made, mall ninja spear. It's not a serious weapon at all. I got it for the memes 😂
@gideonsstuff Have you tried modifying/ upgrading them to make them more useful, i.e. strength weak areas or components of repurposing the item for something better?
Hm, I think I've found my first edged weapon for 2025. Thick is good, means it wont break easily. And I know how to sharpen blades, so that is not a problem. Yep, that would be a good close quarters weapon, once it is sharpened up. Maybe a good back up weapon for Hog Hunters.
we have them in oregon at Bimart as well, different brand but there is usually 4 or 5 behind the counter at the sporting goods section there. Reapr Brand I believe
@@garytrainer1690 I think the intended use was as a toy for tacticool dudes😂 The build quality isn't great and the geometry of the blade is pretty laughable. I definitely wouldn't want to try to take a hog with it
No they are not 😂 But I saw an ad in an old magazine when I was kid where a dude was stabbing through tires with one of the M48 versions of this. Thought I'd give it a go😂
Yeah, tires are no joke😂 I'll make future videos with a wide variety of testing mediums. But I gotta be honest... I don't think the geometry of this thing is gonna be the best at penetrating flesh😂
First of all, the sides of the blade on a spear are not supposed to be very sharp. Its a thrusting weapon, not a slashing weapon so the edge on it is exactly as it should be. Now I have to say that I own and USE one of these for hunting armadillos on a golf course that I work at. I can throw it about 10 or 15 yards with about 85 percent accuracy. I can throw it further than that, but the accuracy drops significantly after about 15 yards.
Hunting spears are supposed to be sharp along the entire blade. Anti-armor spears from the Middle Ages sometimes had duller ages. I'm glad you like your spear and get some use out of it, but I bought it because it's a goofy piece of junk with entertainment value. 😂
В 1986г. когда был солдатом Советской Армии в Германии посетил охотничий магазин и увидел похожее копье для добивания кабанов если они атакуют охотника. Оно было похоже как у лопаты отрезали лишние куски металла. То есть можно сделать такое копье из лопаты.

Maybe. I think the blade geometry of the spearhead is a bit too thick to be a great piercer, but I'll test it and find out😂
Yes, longer.
Javelines are for throwing.
Spears are for thrusting.

@@gregewing3916 I am looking at the Cold Steel Spirit for this reason too. It looks to me like that spear head could easily be mounted on a long walking stick/rake handle.

I feel it would be good for camping or hiking as a protective tool against bears, mountain lions, or other big wild animals. That is just my opinion. I wouldn't call it totally useless. You just have to be creative. 🤷♂️
In the next video I make, we'll have a lot more targets. But at the end of the day... this is a cheaply made, mall ninja spear. It's not a serious weapon at all. I got it for the memes 😂
@gideonsstuff
Have you tried modifying/ upgrading them to make them more useful, i.e. strength weak areas or components of repurposing the item for something better?
@@mattnobrega6621 I've only had it for a few days man😂
You need alot more velocity to penetrate a steel belted radial with that spear.
I wasn't trying to go all the way through. Just stick it in the rubber like I did with the first thrust
Cold Steel sells a boar spear that is no joke.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome😂
Maybe I'll show one on the channel sometime
Excellent! Now I want one. I'll cut it down to to two handed pig sticker. Thank you
Have fun 😂
Hm, I think I've found my first edged weapon for 2025. Thick is good, means it wont break easily. And I know how to sharpen blades, so that is not a problem. Yep, that would be a good close quarters weapon, once it is sharpened up. Maybe a good back up weapon for Hog Hunters.
I sharpened it up but the blade geometry is still awful😂
Go spear big carp. Or you can go after potguts. Go hunt orcs,or gnolls. Great for home defense. Get hema training.
I do have an orc infestation at my house....😂
You can buy them at academy sporting goods
Thanks for watching 👍
we have them in oregon at Bimart as well, different brand but there is usually 4 or 5 behind the counter at the sporting goods section there. Reapr Brand I believe
I've tested a few Reapr products, but not the spear. Thanks for watching, man👍
@@gideonsstuff They also have a gladius sword, a tomahawk, and very recently throwing stars of all things.
it's for stickin wild hogs
I don't think this spear would be much good at that😂
But that's exactly what it is.
@@garytrainer1690 I think the intended use was as a toy for tacticool dudes😂
The build quality isn't great and the geometry of the blade is pretty laughable. I definitely wouldn't want to try to take a hog with it
Its the updated version of the discontinued spirit spear model sog used to sell
Interesting 👍
Sick! Too bad I’m broke. I’ve owned the sog tomahawk in 420 for years and it hasn’t broke yet.
We'll see how long this spear lasts 😂
Steel belted radial tires are made with belt of steel. Not so easy to puncture!
No they are not 😂
But I saw an ad in an old magazine when I was kid where a dude was stabbing through tires with one of the M48 versions of this. Thought I'd give it a go😂
Was that a buggy in the background or did you just pass gas ?
It was something on the highway😂
Although... that's exactly what I would say if I did rip ass, so......
A steel belted radial is tuff. Designed to resist puncture at high speeds. Will ruin your tool designed to penetrate flesh and bone.
Yeah, tires are no joke😂
I'll make future videos with a wide variety of testing mediums. But I gotta be honest... I don't think the geometry of this thing is gonna be the best at penetrating flesh😂
Last ditch against a wild boàr!!
Last last last ditch 😂
This thing is pretty cheaply constructed
Take that mom 🤣
Yeah, MOM!😂
It'd make a cool throwing knife if you swapped that plastic stick for a dagger handle.
That could be fun. It's still a massive blade, I don't know how well balanced I could make it 😂
First of all, the sides of the blade on a spear are not supposed to be very sharp. Its a thrusting weapon, not a slashing weapon so the edge on it is exactly as it should be. Now I have to say that I own and USE one of these for hunting armadillos on a golf course that I work at. I can throw it about 10 or 15 yards with about 85 percent accuracy. I can throw it further than that, but the accuracy drops significantly after about 15 yards.
Hunting spears are supposed to be sharp along the entire blade. Anti-armor spears from the Middle Ages sometimes had duller ages.
I'm glad you like your spear and get some use out of it, but I bought it because it's a goofy piece of junk with entertainment value. 😂
@gideonsstuff okay, I learned something new then because I have always been told that spear blades are never supposed to be very sharp.
Don’t bet your life on this stuff. A guy who isn’t a clown would eviscerate you with this toy, because it isn’t a toy.
@@williamduke2302 This spear is 100% a mall ninja toy
M48 was the first brand that came out with a spear like that many years ago, their spear is called The Talon 🤔
Yeah, I think M48 is a sub brand of United Cutlery. I may be wrong though 😂
Spears saved the caveman 😮
You bet they did 😂
В 1986г. когда был солдатом Советской Армии в Германии посетил охотничий магазин и увидел похожее копье для добивания кабанов если они атакуют охотника. Оно было похоже как у лопаты отрезали лишние куски металла. То есть можно сделать такое копье из лопаты.
Very cool. I bet that spear in the shop was higher quality than the one in this video. Thanks for watching!
You need a Viking yell to go with it.
You're right!😂
What was the cost?
Fifty bucks, as mentioned in the video 👍
@gideonsstuff I watched entire saw it later good luck man have fun.
@zombieboy5665 Appreciate it, man! Thanks for watching 👍
There's a tonto verson online and it has no hole in blade , i wonder if it will be the better model
Maybe I'll get the chance to test it out as well👍😂
