The Metal Spearhead is a forged steel point made to sit on the end of a pole. It is the head of the Spear with Metal Head.
Its main job is the Assemble Spear recipe. That fits the head to a Long Stick or a Sapling and gives a Spear with Metal Head. The head can also be sharpened, and spare heads melt down for steel.
The spearhead is forged at an Advanced Forge with Blacksmithing level 4, or pulled off an old metal spear. Research Craft on it teaches four forge recipes, including Forge Spear Head and Forge Long Spear Head. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Assemble Spear is the recipe that matters. It takes one Metal Spearhead or Long Metal Spearhead and one Long Stick or Sapling. A hammer, club hammer or mallet is kept, and so is a sharp knife. It needs Maintenance level 1. The metal head gives a Spear with Metal Head, and the long head gives a Spear with Long Metal Head.
The edge dulls with use. Sharpen Blade, Sharpen Blade Poorly with File and Sharpen Blade with Grindstone restore it.
A spare head can go into an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Steel From Small Steel Item turns it into one Steel Chunk. Smelt Small Steel Item melts it into a crucible of steel for casting.
Research Craft on the head teaches Forge Simple Blade, Forge Spear Head, Forge Long Spear Head and Forge Small Knife. That makes one found head a useful teacher for a new smith.
How to Get Metal Spearhead
Forge Spear Head makes it. The recipe takes three charcoal and one piece of steel. A Steel Bar Quarter, Katana Blade Shard, Sword Blade Shard, Meat Cleaver Blade or Hunting Knife Blade all work. A ball peen hammer and metalworking pliers or tongs are kept. It needs an Advanced Forge and Blacksmithing level 4.
Dismantle Long Implement is the other way. It takes a Spear with Metal Head apart with a hammer, club hammer or mallet. The head comes back along with a broken stick.

Notes
- Research Craft teaches Forge Simple Blade, Forge Spear Head, Forge Long Spear Head and Forge Small Knife.
- A Sapling works as a shaft when no Long Stick is at hand.
- Dismantling an old Spear with Metal Head saves the head for a new shaft.
- Sword and katana shards from broken blades can be forged into spearheads.
