A spear is a thrusting weapon, you hold it back slightly, if somebody steps into range you can extend the spear into them without even letting go, and if they dodged you withdraw it backwards and stab again. All the while keeping them at a distance away from you.
A wooden spoon is like 1/4 or less the diameter of a spear. Spear handles would have been over an inch thick. As someone else suggested, try whacking a shovel handle, or even a broom handle, now try it while your brother (or sister, no clue which one of you is asking this) is trying to stab you with another spear.
Yea but said kitchen knife sharpened enough would quickly cut through the handle on a wooden spoon.
