The blade end was used to deliver blows to the body and head.
Hand carved in New Zealand, it can be engraved on the stand or on the shaft.
Please note there is not a lot of room available for engraving on the shaft.

Base Size: 780 mm long x 75 mm wide x 35mm high
Please note that the colour of the binding and feathers can vary.
