The Zulu “Iklwa” is the famous short shafted, large bladed spear that carved out one of the greatest early African nations. Used with a cowhide shield this spear, sized for a deadly underhand stabbing fighting style, is said to be named for the sound it made as it entered the enemy. High carbon tempered steel. Brass wire reinforced socket, wood shaft. The Zulu “Iklwa” is a must for history buffs or collectors of military weapons.
