Description
In the days of the Vikings, warriors often personalized their weapons with distinctive designs, not only to display their identity but to inspire fear in their enemies. This spear head carries on that tradition, forged from high carbon steel and etched with an intricate Spangenhelm motif,a type of helmet known for its segmented construction, which was both practical and symbolic of Viking craftsmanship. The blade measures seven inches in length and tapers to a keen point, ready to pierce through armor or flesh alike. It fits a wooden shaft roughly 1.19 inches in diameter, though the shaft itself is not included. To keep the blade safely sheathed when not in use, a hand-tooled leather cover accompanies it, protecting both bearer and blade from harm.
