No sweat, JP, I hear you.
We don't have much call for high end spear heads, as much as I'd love to carry them. We had some beautiful samples in from a dragon well forge vendor a while back, but they were priced too high for our market. They were sold off in our lobby, where we let go of a lot of odd items - samples, imperfect gear, damaged gear, fixer-uppers. Someone bought it before I could and I regret letting them slip by me. That being said, I know that there are some nice heavy, tempered-steel spearheads coming out of China. I just don't know who is carrying them. As you know, I helped found WLE, but when I was working there, we weren't carrying those spearheads so I'm not sure about the maker. It maybe Lam Sifu himself, since it's well within his range of bar-stock removal methods. It says its struck with his makers mark, but that's just a die and he could strike anything with it. I don't recognize the make, but spearheads are not as distinct as swords. I've seen some European and African spearheads that could work for Chinese spears - some of the Euro stuff is quite nice. I've yet to be that impressed with the African stuff. So good heavy spearheads are definitely out there - in fact, they might be more available than any other weapon beyond staffs - but I don't have any resource for you. No matter what, if you want something of real quality, you'll probably wind up paying a real price.
MAM is bringing in some high-end product to see how it does
MAM has experimented with high-end traditional weapons before. Frankly, they don't move as well as the cheap wushu stuff. This is two-fold. One reason is the price - lower price = more sales. The other reason is that the traditional CMA community is shrinking so there just isn't as much of a market there nowadays.
Nevertheless, I'm trying to get more combat-worthy weapons in, but in small shipments so they don't take up too much space on our warehouse shelves. If you know retail, you know that anything that doesn't move is dead stock.
