Ninja weapons – spear

A length of weighted chain is added to the butt end of a normal spear. This weapon can be used as a normal spear, or the butt-chain can be swung out, entangling the opponent.
Sang kauw (two-headed spear)
This weapon comes in two forms. The basic form is a double-headed spear with a loop handle in the center, from which projects a dagger or crescent. The weapon is used with one hand to parry and attack. Its other form is almost identical; a small buckler is fitted in the center with the dagger blade projecting from it.
