Description
A classic shape known across many lands, from the battlefields of Europe to the vast plains and dense jungles of Africa. This leaf-shaped spearhead is hand-forged from high carbon steel, heated and hammered over the forge’s fire to shape and temper the blade. The raised central ridge running along its length adds structural strength, helping the blade resist bending or breaking upon impact. Traditionally, such spearheads would be mounted on a sturdy wooden shaft,often ash or oak,sourced from local woodworkers or markets, forming a weapon balanced for both thrusting and cutting in skilled hands.
Fun fact: The leaf-shaped spearhead design was favored not only for thrusting but also for slashing, as its broad blade could create deep wounds, making it a versatile tool of war across many cultures.
