介绍（中）	钝尖的椭圆形头部由一个沉重的中脊加固，几乎完全覆盖着叶子系带的蚀刻装饰。插座底部的铆钉用于连接由鹿角雕刻而成的肘节，并用皮带绑在上面。坚固的木轴有很深的凹槽和横切，形成了约三分之二长度的短裂片表面这些长矛是专门为狩猎木板和熊而设计的。这把短而宽的双刃剑会造成大出血的伤口，很快就会使动物致残；拨动开关可以防止冲过来的木板刺穿自己太深，并使猎人与锋利的象牙保持合理的安全距离。即使木头被雨水、露水或鲜血弄得很滑，树干上厚厚的浅裂表面也能让猎人牢牢抓住。有时会选择灰树苗，在它们还活着的时候，它们的树皮会被反复切开，以生长疤痕组织，从而形成所需的多节表面（gebicte-Schäfte）。
介绍（英）	The obtusely pointed oval head is reinforced by a heavy mid-ridge, and almost entirely covered with etched decoration of foliate strapwork. A rivet at the bottom of the socket serves for attaching the toggle, carved from staghorn and tied on with leather straps. The strong wooden shaft is deeply grooved and crosscut, which creates a surface of short lobes for about two-thirds of its length. These spears were specially designed for the hunt of board and bear. The short but wide double-edged blade would inflict a heavily bleeding wound that would quickly disable the animal; the toggle would stop the on-rushing board from impaling himself too deeply and would keep the huntsman at a reasonably safe distance from the slashing tusks. The heavily lobed surface of the shaft allowed the huntsman a firm grip, even if the wood were slippery with rain, dew, or blood. Sometimes ash saplings were selected, and while still alive their bark was nicked repeatedly in order to grow scar tissue to create the desired knobby surface (gebickte Schäfte).
