FWIW I took a look at the Cold Steel version. Not really close. CS is "manufactured". This one is "crafted" if you see what I mean.

Ed, I may upset you. This spear is made in Kenya or Tanzania for tourists.

It's indeed typical for the Maasai and surrounding ethnos but it seems very recently to my eyes. I don't think it's manufactured.

It seems rather ungainly for a tourist piece.

both the spears shown are made for the tourist market,
as for the cold steel version , if you see any of their products they are made with industrial processes we are not allowed showing for sale products but the internet shows many such in 3 pieces like yours called Samburu spears, run a search you will find them, I had 2, sold them anyway, lots of previous threads http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=samburu http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=samburu |
