"Wire spears" Topic

I have purchased many of these in the past and I am not satisfied with the look of many of them. I want spears that look real. Many used to be realistic looking, but recently all that I purchased look like flattened rectangles with a point on them. Anybody know of a good source for realistic wire spears? Thanks in advance.

North Star wire spears have always impressed me as being the best.

I second North Star! Used them and they are fantastic! Obviously you are in the USA, so it will cost more…

I have bought North Star spears on the US from Brigade Games and Recreational Conflict.

I use 40 caliber blow gun darts. Indistinguishable from some that some game companies sell, and dirt cheap on Amazon – $15 USD per 100.

This may be what you mean though by flattened rectangles with points.

Hey Virtual, that is exactly what I meant, but that price is hard to beat. Thanks for the tips guys.

Now that I've been shown how to make very acceptable spears from plastic broom bristles, that don't bend or break or impale my fingers, I may not ever go back to wire spears or cast metal pikes.

Yup – never going back to wire! I'm thinking of swapping out the ones I have; they really are too dangerous. I'll keep them as a flagpole, but for pikes, spears, and lances, I'm done.

If your uptight pikes with blunt brass rod aren't stabbing you well enough, go with the above. 👍
