Can these knives be used as spear heads?

While I doubt they were ever conceived of being used for spearheads, the metal seems durable enough that I imagine these knives could be used as spearheads, as long as they are secured to the spear pole well enough. You'd obviously remove the handle wrap, and you may have to file the butt end of the tang perpendicular, but I imagine that's all.

These knives are sharp and I've been using them on everything pretty much: meat, veggies, fruits, fish... I do not know if they are specific sushi-knives, but I am sure you can use them for sushi.

When I purchased this starter set I also purchased a spoon type of knife for doing concave types of carving such as the inside of a mask. I don't believe you could do it with only this basic set of knives but I am a beginner and may be wrong.

Likely yes. Ultimately though depends on what're gonna do with em. They're fun., great looking, pretty solid, on the heavy side , if they're too long, remove tips and cut, taper it and go. I used mine in long bows and recurves.

I would think so, these are pretty strong, sharp and so easy and comfortable to use.

They should be fine. Be careful , they are sharp on both sides of the blade. Very good broadhead.

yes. I would suggest, however, spending more money on a better set of knives. knives will be with you for the rest of your life if you take care of them. Ginsu knives as advertised on Amazon are a low quality knifes. so don't make my mistake!!!

I throw mine. It is heavier than a traditional throwing spear but it does work as one. Your range is going to be somewhat limited due to the weight. I would suggest upgrading the shaft to a lighter wood or some type of composite. I throw mine into pine rounds and am thoroughly impressed with the strength and flexibility of the spear head itself.

I don't see why not; but I wouldn't try it; this knife is a little too ornate (not to mention heavy) to be used as a throwing knife...

I don't think you would want to sharpen them. I have purchased a dozen of them and never sharpened any of them. I actually like it better when that point is gone.

Yes, they can be sharpened to your likening. But make sure you know what you are doing, you could ruin the blade.

Yes. You can cut off spears on the flesh that is left over, next to the skin.

Yes, but probably not on all of them. I put a wicked edge on my Gerber Parang and also on one of my smaller inexpensive hatchets... but if it is too large or thick, probably not a good idea. But Hey.... what do I know? I use a stone on my axe and large hatchet, but I'll bet it would work.** please see my comment **I wouldn't use anything particularly large or heavy if you want this tool to last. No replacement elements available from Smiths.

I don't know. It would seem that you could use spaghetti if you want to make your own. Nice concept, but they are all so small they don't hold enough knives.

You Could depending on your Knives. I don't think it would be the Safest Idea.

I would say no. The blades have to be perfect and with special sharpening equipment you would not keep them perfect.

You can sharpen them however you want. That said, to protect the integrity of the knife you should stick to a traditional japanese whetstone and honing steel. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself Shun will sharpen them for free so long as you pay for shipping. Hope that helps!
