    I just conversed with a couple in Mombasa Kenya to have that very thing made for me and it's on the way. I have a front end needs the balance. Depends which spear as to thickness and weight, they need to balance. Each piece, front and back could be assessed at $100USD. The wood should be something like Acacia which is snow white in the natural and made dark with die. If you look, you CAN find the front piece easier and perhaps could assemble yourself a decent piece... Or order straight from Mombasa. But DON'T let some guy rake you for $1000 for a complete spear like one here in Calgary Alberta was advertising.

    So, this one sure took long enough to surface. i spent about three years looking and hunting... Then after success dealing with Mombasa Kenya, they went into hiding for a month after some attacks on Government agencies and public communications... I thought they maybe had been done in. Anyway, here are the Maasai Lion spear and the Maasai small game spear, in order.
