45 3/4" length for direct hand to hand thrusting. Stepped natural cane haft, the upper portion decorated with lineal hound’s tooth bands. Palmwood point with the needle-like tip above a series of graduated barbs (few small chips). Fine split cane socket in four ranks. Shows great age, possible precontact, with glossy to dull surface encrustation. Capable of inflicting a horrific wound that would be exacerbated by attempting to remove it.
