Spear (War)

 

Spear (war)

Spears. The weapon of choice of the Germanic people. Although everyone wanted a sword the spear was the weapon that most people used. Wodin himself was said to prefer the spear. There have been many different styles of spears used over the centuries.

This spear is what I call a general purpose spear. Its narrower head and blunter point makes it better for fighting and piercing armour, yet it is still heavy enough to bring down game. This is my personal spear and I like its shorter length this makes it handy to use as a walking stick, quarterstaff, or spear as needed. The head is about 17" overall and 2" wide total length of this spear is 6'2"

These spears are two piece welded socket construction. This gives the strongest and most expensive type of spear. These are good sturdy heavy thrusting spears. The shaft is either hickory or ash shaped with a spokeshave just like my axe handles. All my spears have a buttcap on the end of the shaft.

I am developing a less expensive throw-away spear watch this site for details!

As with all my work I stand behind my spears. (I sure am not going to stand in front of them!)
