Description
The spear is among the oldest weapons known to mankind, its straightforward design proving effective through countless battles over the ages. This particular spearhead reflects a style used widely across Europe, from the fierce warriors of the Ancient Celts and the disciplined hoplites of Greece to foot soldiers of the Renaissance period. Forged from tempered steel, the blade is shaped to fit tightly onto a wooden shaft measuring 1-1/4″ in diameter (shaft not included). Its socket is carefully formed to grip the pole firmly, a necessity for maintaining control whether thrown or used in close combat. This spearhead pairs well with reinforced butt caps that protect the shaft’s end during use and extend the weapon’s durability.
