These look very well made.
Are they used as a defence against swords rather than as a club? As in the Japanese sword breakers or Jittes.

The spear is an ancient Chinese weapon, with a long history, belonging to heavy weapons, which can deal with swords and armor.

Yup, look like sword breakers - I seem to recall a recent Chinese historic film that had one of the protagonists who carried and used one. A certain firm named after low temperature steel has a few you tube videos available on them. They can snap or bend an opponents sword. I also don't think getting hit with one would be a good idea.

Yes, being hit by this weapon will break the bones and incapacitate the person, do you have an ancient Chinese sword in your collection?
