The Smith & Wesson Spear fixed blade has a 4.2 3Cr13 stainless steel blade and measures 10.7 overall. It is not a double edge blade, the upper is a false edge. The handle is a durable contoured nylon filled glass fiber with a solid feeling and lanyard hole on the butt end. The handle has the added bonus of being removable so the spear head can be attached to a common broom handle for added versatility and reach.
