This is a good four foot throwing spear with a heavy duty blade on it. It could be used for close range self defense but the short length makes it somewhat less desirable. I'd prefer at least five feet for close range, but this is definitely better than nothing. Weight and balance is great for throwing but some people who are not very athletic may find the blade a bit heavy- I have read reviews saying as much, but the weight is good for me.
My main purpose for this is I'd like to have a spear when going out on a kayak in case a shark or gator gets aggressive with me at least I'd have some kind of weapon. The problem with using this spear on the water is it short for the purpose of stabbing and if I throw it I'm out $70 (and there's a good chance I could miss). So I ordered a six foot spear as well. But I'd like to see an option to buy some cheap throwing spears that are cheap enough you don't have to worry about losing them. Maybe get five of them for $50 or something, have small blades at the end instead of the heavy duty blade. Would be something good to add to the collection but I haven't seen anybody selling those (other than some affordable arrow heads but you have to make the spear yourself).
Some four foot spears like this with a small cheap blade at the end sold in a bundle for using once or twice. I guess at that point I might as well get a bow and arrow or something but the spear is way easier to use quickly in a tight space and more fun to toss around.
