Rick, Is palma brava coconut wood? ("wood" I suppose, as it is not a tree.....) That simple spikey back ferule looks a lot like simple ones on Kayans from Luzon.

Tim, Therion has a couple of somewhat similar spears on his "sold" page, listed as Sumatran. Their blade tips are less wide......

Some sort of palm wood Tom , heavy and dense .
Yeah , the shoes probably look similar just because of their simplicity .
They are however complete Mandayan spears .
I have yet to see any other examples .
