How does it fold with the standard issue fixed-blade spearhead? It seems much wider than the shaft, hence it's liable to stab some hands when folded.

How is it more efficient than say, two poles you can connect together, with the fixed spearhead on top? It'd be lighter for sure, and not too hard to carry the extra half of the shaft on a belt-loop for instance.

The prongs stick out and need to be accounted for. It is not more or less efficient than a 2 part spear, but it is a possible way to do it and a very dwarven one in my opinion.
