United Cutlery UC3137 M48 Super Spear

[@NOBOX7]

Guys and gals don't forget the sight of a spear often leads people to believe your about to throw it at them and this is a powerful psychological effect

[@1Thatstrangeguy]

I got the mental image of that scene from Napoleon Dynamite when he is throwing fruit at Uncle Rico.

[@davidjacobs828]

Beautiful...

[@armandovalladares1755]

Most underrated truth on spears

[@celphalonred1999]

Yup. Ark survival evolved gave me ptsd from naked black people throwing them at it across a river as I swam for safety

[@owenwaggoner3840]

I come back every 6 months to watch this man so I can be reminded of the rage of man

[@NOBOX7]

LOL

[@chaorrottai]

I want a spear to go foraging with. Where I live, I have black bear, wolves and mountain lion. I need to find a good spear with a solid shaft that's got at least a 5'6" shaft length and a winged blade to stop the bear from just pushing down the shaft. Yes, animal attacks are rare. Rare doesn't mean they don't happen. I just want to make sure that an attack I can see coming doesn't happen to me.

[@saraupton7503]

The spear has always ruled the battlefield. Even a novice spearman can give a master swordsman a hard time. I bought this spear for home defense and as a weapon to be used in a 'doomsday' scenario, after all my bullets are gone lol. I would choose a spear over any other melee weapon and so would most people who know what they're talking about.

[@NOBOX7]

Great input , agree 100% the spear is mightier then the sword .

[@Steven-jn2cw]

I completely agree, also a thrusting weapon like a spear is far easier to use indoors like in a corridor or hallway. swords and axes need to be swung which is slow and easier to see coming, but a thrust from a spear is extremely difficult to dodge or see coming.

[@NOBOX7]

@@Steven-jn2cw Never even thought of that, bravo Stevo

[@celphalonred1999]

​@NOBOX7 it's not though. It has one advantage and that's reach, but has many flaws which is countered by a sword.

[@NOBOX7]

@@celphalonred1999 I gofor the legs first no sword is gonna get by that also who has a freekn swrod these days LOL your not going to a mid evil battle its machette against spear at best

[@Mike-ql4sz]

Great info! After 4yrs, i'm wondering if u would consider the shorter Survival Spear version or would keep this one? Thx!

[@Arclor]

If you're using the full length of the spear to stab someone, they're not going to be grabbing it or their fingers are gonna get cut off. Go for the torso if you're aiming to kill!

[@saraupton7503]

All the best swordfighters I've followed, say that you don't go for the center mass. Initially, you go for the hands or lower leg. However, the OP says he wants to use it for home defense, so you are correct, because in that situation, you aren't dueling an opponent, or part of a unit on a battlefield, you're fighting for your life. You want to put the intruder down as quickly as possible.

[@Steven-jn2cw]

@@saraupton7503 You are supposed to thrust high then low then high, low etc as fast as you can with a spear for maximum effectiveness

[@celphalonred1999]

Why go for the blade? Just grab the shaft.

[@yebonuts]

The shaft material, is fiberglass reinforced polypropylene, you arent going to break it, I promise you that. The spear head itself is a high carbon stainless steel, also good quality.

[@carlrobinson8177]

I really like this spear, M48 makes some outstanding weapons. If you break any of them it’s because you doing some crazy stuff. The spear and sword have two different purpose, and I’d have both. Look at the history of the way the Romans used their weapons back in the day. I own allot of M48. This is on my wish list. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@MissionJesus370]

Everybody duck down when someone breaks in Pew pew

[@m3sca1]

Looks like a glass fiber re-inforced type plastic.

[@NOBOX7]

I agree

[@ІгорНауменко-й3р]

anyway will be better have detachable tip to convert it in simple dagger or short sword when it need. but it will be better have axe or khopesh also

[@dancurfman4759]

ive got a indian club that's has a rock that is wrapped with a stick about 20 inches long and weighs about 6 pounds it is great for home defense I also collect vintage ww1 and ww2 knives

[@saraupton7503]

I agree 100% about discharging a firearm in your home. I have several rifles, shotguns and handguns, but it would have to be a doomsday scenario before I would open fire in my home, or neighborhood. In a home defense situation, I would have a gun with me, but I would also have one of my edged weapons and I would try to use that first. Usually I would recommend a short sword over a spear in close quarters, but this spear is short enough to work.

[@lucianisidro]

It's always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[@GoWokeGoBroke2023]

Silent night spear

[@sinfulf4i]

2cr13 is suppose to be a 420 series stainless its a higher carbon stainless that can be heat treated

[@NOBOX7]

Good to know , thanks for the input friend

[@seanbrian7082]

Okay, I know I'm late to the party but... So, as someone who is deeply torn between swords and spears. I absolutely think Spears > Swords. Sorry guys, the sword is very cool, flashy, and takes an admirable level of skill to wield. But let's be honest here. The spear has better reach, has piercing, slashing, and blunt damaging capabilities, and can be thrown. You can not only fight, but hunt. That alone gives this tool so much value. My issues with this spear is that it doesn't really have "wings" or prongs on the side, the handle is pretty questionable (I'd rather have a metal shaft the length of it and be one continuous piece connected to the blade), and I'd like for it to at least have a metal butt on the end. Better than just some plastic poking you. Oh right! Another thing is, you have to think: spears are just bo staves with a sharp end. So if you learn just the basics with the bo staff, you'll be pretty set. Thanks for the vid NOBOX7

[@NOBOX7]

Thanks for the input

[@AddamSolo]

So which spear do you recommend?

[@DistinctiveBlend]

hey man I'm looking at buying one of these. Are you still happy with it?

[@NOBOX7]

Bro , not only am i happy with it but i watched a German Group actually show that a spear beats a sword 9 out of 10 times in a full contact spare with blunt weapons and full body armor . and the guy who lost was againts a very aggressive attacker and he did not go for the legs so i still stand on the notion a sword cannot beat a spear , not to mention the fear seeing one of these and thinking it may get thrown at you ...

[@DistinctiveBlend]

Cheers man, and yeah spears beat swords until the swordsman closes that gap!

[@NOBOX7]

kick him when that happens

[@NOBOX7]

kick him when that happens

[@celphalonred1999]

​​@@NOBOX7it's fake and scripted. If they're wearing armor they can easily take one hit from the spear and grab it before finishing off the spearman. It's too practical, the spear has one advantage and many flaws, by using a sword once you get past the "reach" the spear wielder is fucked. " a sword cannot beat a spear" False, history also says otherwise. And the greatest on the battlefield were swordsman, not spearmen. History.

[@natureme2392]

I would choose a spear

[@phester6811]

Hey Bsherrel what's up. I live out in the the country so my choice of weapon is a semiauto 40 cal cause I'm Not a felon. Lol but if I had to choose between sword or spear def spear. Many more uses.

[@NOBOX7]

hey hows it going john , really wish i had a 40 cal and no neighbors to catch a stray bullet , you lucky dog , over 20 years ago i got into it with a cop , they beat me up so i feal they shoulda dropped it but here i am a felon unable to protect people and im a righteous man , well at least i seek righteousness righteous or not .

[@blakstar306]

Where did you purchase that spear?

[@NOBOX7]

Scheels

[@chriskeller3229]

I suggest the cyclone spear

[@robertrenfrow8621]

Why?

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

Spears make an excellent close combat weapon. (~_^)-b Also they can be thrown if need be. Also you can put it to the neck to hold them until the police come, but yeah, some people will come back to visit you when they get out of prison. I agree this is indeed a better option. Should the handle prove too weak, you can always get a durable electrician's range pole and cut it length. Those fiberglass range poles are really strong and flexible, so if that handle seems inadequate... Fill the space with some billet aluminum or from some bar stock to make sure its a tight fit and carries the leverage further down the shaft to reduce the chances of breakage even under a large load.

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

My experience with weapons show that personally I can perform better than opponents using a spear than with a sword because with applied skill and using the power of human balance and the mechanics, the spear moves better and delivers more effective force in more vital areas with greater speed. Perhaps it is aluminum fiber filled nylon?

[@NOBOX7]

Great input , and yes you are correct i love the fiber glass idea . Yes throwing is an option and people who see you with it instantly fear this prospect , even though i personal would never through a spear at the enemy unless several condition are available, to name a few , its my only hope , and if i have another spear and a shield , other wise one must ask at what point do i get impaled with my own spear . Obvious i know, just making conversation .

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

One option is to have a lanyard on your spear so that once it reaches the end of its useful range [be that striking a target or missing it] you can rapidly reel it back in to your self. The idea would be to carry the roll of tether in your throwing hand with a cuff around your wrist or your waist [each has its pros and its cons] and the moment the spear is at its maximum effective distance [which you can determine by practice] it is immediately pulled back, preferably with enough force that it is airborne for much of that time, reducing the chances of an opponent obtaining control of it before it is back under your full control and ready for further employment. The test weight of your tether would have to be such that it was not a means for an opponent to drag you off your feet [as in it snaps], but if you have a Velcro or similar emergency quick release type mounting it will not offer that, although, yes, as you mentioned from the very start, it gives the enemy another weapon, should you fumble. All in all, I do not support the idea of hurling or throwing it, especially if one is as poor of an aim and weak of a thrower as my self!

[@saraupton7503]

Spears are the most effective, non-projectile firing weapons ever devised and they ruled battlefields for many centuries. However, they are very poor close quarter weapons lol. A gladius and buckler are much more effective at close quarters.
