JUNG MEH: The jung meh, or “spear whip,” is made up of
9 metal rods, each approximately 6” long, attached to one
another by a single link of chain at either end and ending in a
spear head. The weapon is held together by a leather-bound
haft and has a minimal amount of flexibility, with the head being
capable of bending about 45 degrees in any direction (in relation
to the haft) when fully extended.


 

The weapon is used primarily as a bashing instrument, but
the edged and pointed head is capable of cutting and slashing
with its sharpened portions. Although the weapon has a point,
its flexibility does not allow for it to be used for stabbing, nor
can the spear whip be set to receive an opponent’s charge. The
jung meh is employable from horseback to a limited extent. The
name “jung meh” is of Korean origin, but there is no evidence of
it ever being employed in that country, and the origins of the
weapon itself are doubtful.
