This one, according to google
 
Large Sebenza's mostly. Geronimo however, apparently loved his Hinderer, but lost it while attempting a particularly dangerous crossing of the Gila River. After checking the outrageous prices at the exchange, however, he swore never again to pay such an exorbitant markup for a new XM-24 and temporarily switched to a Military before being gifted with a Cold Steel Spartan that, according to legend, he carried until his dying day.

[Naive/trusting look] "Is that completely true?" :o
I had allways assumed Apaches were on a Mora budget.


You need the classic reference book Firearms Traps & Tools of the Mountain Men by Carl P. Russell. It isn't the kind of book you can breeze through in 2 days, though. It details all the sorts of knives, axes, spears &etc. that White Men and Indians used at the time. I'm currently on my umpteenth read of it.

To answer your question, the only Apache reference in the book shows a plain flat bi-axially symmetrical steel spear head.
 
European trade knives...as in various size butcher knives...whenever they could get their hands on them, same as white settlers.

I thought Native Americans did not have iron implements? Or you mean after the European invasion? I would assume they traded for whatever knives the Europeans brought with them.
