Description of the Product

The Viking spearhead offered here displays the narrow, sharply pointed blade designed to pierce mail. The Nordic warrior frequently took several light throwing spears into combat, carried in the shield hand in a charge. These were thrown as the distance closed, leaving the warrior free to use his sword or axe in hand-to-hand fighting. This decorated spearhead would be good on a thrusting spear or heavy throwing spear.

Hanwei's decorated spearheads, designed by Paul Chen, demonstrate the Vikings' creative mix of art and war, whereby weapons often carried intricate patterns which were created by using the niello process. This involved using an alloy of several metals (notably silver) mixed with sulfur, which was rubbed into an incised pattern and then fired. Where the alloy had been rubbed into the engravings, it would remain black, while the rest of the surface would be polished to a bright finish. The decorating process used at Hanwei involves a little less alchemy but still provides a lustrous, permanent niello-like effect.

  • Viking era spearhead
  • Niello-like decorations on socket
  • Only spearhead supplied (without shaft)
  • Overall length: approx. 40.5 cm
  • Blade length: approx. 24 cm
  • Blade width at the widest part 3.5 cm
  • Blade thickness at the base: approx. 14 mm
  • Weight: 240 g
  • Inner diameter of the socket approx. 2.6 cm so the shaft diameter should be 2.6 cm or thicker
  • Sharpness: Unsharpened
  • Material: Cast steel
  • As this spearhead is cast it doesn't have same strength as forged spearheads. We don't recommend this spearhead for historical reenactment combat because it will not last in sports use as well as forged heads
  • Made by Hanwei

Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.

Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

The products have good quality, good prices and are exactly what you see at the pictures, no fake photos. I'm just received a package 📦 today, and it takes 7 days from Finland 🇫🇮 to come to Greece 🇬🇷. Very fast and easy!!

Siis aivan huikea!! Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista! Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa. Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍 Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
