I have brought this up before and didn't get a definitive answer. In the ultimate equipment, the picture of the spear clearly has a tip that is not made out of wood. It is not made out of granite and the like, because the spear does not have the fragile weapon quality.
I don't see why these two weapon groups can not be made out of Darkwood and not have the full benefits Darkwood Brings.
Darkwood: This rare magic wood is as hard as normal wood but very light. Any wooden or mostly wooden item (such as a bow or spear) made from darkwood is considered a masterwork item and weighs only half as much as a normal wooden item of that type. Items not normally made of wood or only partially of wood (such as a battleaxe or a mace) either cannot be made from darkwood or do not gain any special benefit from being made of darkwood. The armor check penalty of a darkwood shield is lessened by 2 compared to an ordinary shield of its type. To determine the price of a darkwood item, use the original weight but add 10 gp per pound to the price of a masterwork version of that item.

Believe it or not, the last time I brought this up people were saying that only a staff, Bow, spear and club could only be made of Darkwood and no other weapon would have Darkwoods benefits.
I also included the polearm fighter weapon group into this mix and for the same reasons as the axe or Warhammer people posted those weapons couldn't be included for the benefits of Darkwood. I wonder if some of the pole arms would benefit much less the sansetsukon.
The idea is to be used in PFS.
It has been a considerable amount of time and I thought I'd try this again.
