Zulu Spears

[silenthunterstudios]

Rag micarta from Javan. Bret used ATS-34 ss on this blade & it's a cutter for sure

Vince, do you have pics of that Bose Zulu fixed blade I was drooling over?

Here's a Jerry Halfrich Small Rounder (3 5/8") with a Modified Wharncliffe (Zulu) blade.
I like carrying a knife with a straight blade and a blade with some belly most of the time. That can be on one or two knives.
When I have this one in my pocket, in my experience, I've got both bases covered.

I like that blade shape more than what you usually see with Zulu spears.

I have posted this knife before, but can't remember where!!?? My apologies if it is redundant!
In around 1936, Schrade introduced this modified wharncliffe blade. Instead of having a straight edge, the point rises slightly as the edge nears the end of the blade. The arch of the back of the blade has that distinctive Wharcliffe look. It looks cool in a swell center frame!!
When I posted it, someone found a magazine article advertising the Zulu Spear, but I have lost my file on it. Anyway, here is the knife, and the 1936 catalog cut!

You can see one rivet was probably overspun, and broke off. Otherwise it's unsharpened/ uncarried.

Here's an in depth look at what makes a Zulu spear from this previous thread.

For everyone wondering if GEC will ever pursue a Zulu Spear. Look for signs of such next month.
Derrick Bohn of Northwoods Knives posted this teaser on facebook.
It looks to be Tony Bose's design done under the Northwoods Name.

The Old Dog's design / revitalisation of the classic Schrade blade

That's going to be another must-have Northwoods!

Yass! Glad I have a store credit. It will definitely get used if Northwoods puts out a Zulu Spear.
