Description
While the sword often steals the spotlight, it was the spear that truly stood as the Viking warrior’s trusted companion. These weapons were not only hurled with deadly precision but also wielded as steadfast pikes in the thick of battle. The spearhead before you is hand-forged from tough, high carbon steel, carefully shaped to strike a balance between durability and keen edge,both vital for the harsh realities of combat. This design reflects the straightforward, effective tools favored by Norse fighters. Keep in mind, the wooden shaft,typically made from ash or another sturdy wood and selected by the warrior to suit his grip and reach,is not included here.
