Description
This large spearhead or lance head is crafted from tempered EN45 high carbon steel and suitable for Viking Age and Middle Ages settings (10th/11th c. – Type K/M according to Petersen).
It is approx. 52 cm (20.5 in.) long, has approx. 29 cm (11.4 in.) long edges, and the blade, which strongly tapers from a broad base to a long, narrow point, is reinforced with a distinctive, raised ridge along its centre line for extra rigidity and greater piercing power. Two pre-drilled holes allow it to be secured onto the wooden staff of your choice to create your own Viking / medieval spear or lance. The haft and additional mounting hardware are not included in the delivery.
Please note that this spearhead is primarily designed as a collectible, decoration piece or prop and by no means suited for combat re-enactment! The blade’s point is not rounded, and the edges are not sharpened, yet slightly ground (with suitable equipment and the necessary know-how and skills, they may be ground to sharpness if needed).
