The Assegai was a fearsome weapon with an 11" long steel blade mounted on a 30" wood shaft and a copper grip it could wielded in battle due to its compact size when compared to the much longer throwing spears.
Most Zulu warriors went to battle with an ikwla, an Assegai, a Shield and throwing spears and this was the case on the morning of the 22nd January 1897 when they attached the 24th foot at Isandlwana.
The spear actual weight is 500grms but due to Royal mail post restrictions on size it can only be sent by parcel force so the weight has a false weight of 2001grms
