File HJRK A 32 Boar spear head of Frederick IV of the Tyrol, c. 1430.jpg thumb 150px Boar spear head, c. 1430, length convert 42 cm in sp us . Citations missing article date September 2010 A boar spear is a spear used for boar hunting . It is relatively short and heavy and has two Lug knob lug s or wings on the spearsocket behind the blade, which act as a barrier to prevent an injured and furious boar from working its way up the shaft of the spear to attack the hunter. The boar spear also became popular as a weapon of war, since the lugs can also be used to hook shield s out of the way during combat, as well as preventing a spear thrust from going too far into a victim particularly a charging horse , thus making it easier to quickly withdraw, and less likely to break. Boar spears remained in use as weapons until the early Middle Ages , though it is still sometimes used in Germany . In the 15th century, a variant with a longer shaft called a chiavarina was in use as a weapon of war.
