spear tip
Piercing weapon head
The pointed end of a spear, designed to penetrate a target.
Spear tips were historically made of stone, bone, or metal, shaped for hunting or combat.
The term sometimes refers to the detachable head alone: Archaeologists found a bronze spear tip at the site.
Figuratively, a spear tip is the leading edge of an advance: Special forces served as the spear tip of the invasion.
