Spear (kxao) used by the San has a shaft made from a peeled Grewia flava stalk, the point from an iron rod, acquired in trade. It is rarely used as a throwing spear, usually serving as a secondary weapon to administer the coup de grace to dying game. It may also be used on slow, young animals or to stab small game flushed out by a dog.
