The cutting edges weren't on the sides, nor was it a stabbing weapon. This spear was called the wide spear because of its wide blade. Neolbjakchang: Literally means 'wide spear'.Topjang: This was a spear that had a blade with a flat top and saw teeth.It was about 3 yards long and it had a hook like blade on the side of it somewhat like a scythe, but with a shorter blade. Galgorichang: This was a hook spear that was used as an anti-cavalry weapon.The blades were steel and often poisoned, so that the slightest cut would mortally wound the opponent. It was designed to deceive enemies into thinking it was a tree. About half of it was blades and the other half was just the handle of the spear. It was about 25 feet long and has many other tips and blades branching from it. Nangseon: This was a multiple-tipped bamboo spear.The disadvantages were that, like most spears, the Dangpa was not as fast as a skilled swordsman, could not be thrown, and was heavier than other spears. Dangpa: The main advantage of the Dangpa was that the user could attack someone from a longer distance, was effective against medium swords, a good anti-cavalry weapon, and the ability to strike with heavy damage.The blade was larger than the jukjangchang. Gichang: This type of spear was about 7 feet long and had a flag near the end to distract enemies.Although they weren't always quick, they were used in groups to keep many enemies at a distance. It was used for even greater distances than the regular jangchang. Jukjangchang: This spear was longer, about 20 feet long, and was made of bamboo.It was used for throwing or just plowing through the enemy with long reach. Jangchang: This long spear was usually about 10 feet in length with a 4-inch blade on the end.The designs are similar to those of spears found elsewhere in Asia and the world, as much due to a process of convergent evolution as to external influence. Over time, various types of Korean spears have developed and evolved. JSTOR ( June 2019) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message).Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
