Bel Wiki has a great spear tutorial by Arrakis. Use it, and enjoy your *' spear.

Also, if you're doing the tutorial posted by Arrakis, you CANNOT cheap out on the materials. To be a passing low-profile spear, you have to use good materials.

^ Same here. Though I do replace one of the blue layers (over the rigid material) with a 4# floor mat layer.

There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.
