I think it is really nice and a practical weapon. If my PC was working and I had some money it would now be mine but you cannot win them all. The spiked knobkerrie is a south Sudan weapon. I need one .

Hi Tim ,
I think that a 'spike' instead of the spearhead would make this a practical weapon. The spike would not interfere with the grip whilst holding the knobkerrie in 'club mode'. The spearhead, on the other hand, would cause problems in holding it, the 'deft' wrist movements used in attack/defence with a knobkerrie is likely to injure/cut the users forearm as the spearhead is 'cumbersome' , wide and appears once sharpened along its edges. Thats without the imbalance caused by its weight.

Regards David
