The spear enjoyed great popularity in the Viking Era. The large number and variety of surviving examples suggest that spears were more commonly used than swords - as they were not only easier, but also much cheaper to make.

The so-called winged or lugged spear, which was used primarily as a push gun and is often associated with the Nordics, is actually of Carolingian frank origin. Adopted by the Vikings, he continued to see service – both for hunting and for war – until the high Middle Ages. The wings or handles on the sides are designed both to prevent excessive penetration into an attack (which would make it harder to pull the spear out) and to trim enemy blows on the melee.

This Winged Carolingian-style spearhead is ideal for Viking and medieval environments (ca. 8/9 to 11/12 c.). Made of high carbon EN45 hardened steel, it has approx. 28.5 cm (11.25 in.) long and is approx. Long edges of 17.5 cm (6.9 in.). The blade, which tapered strongly from a wide base to a long, narrow tip, is reinforced with a distinct, elevated protrusion along its axis for greater stiffness and greater drilling power. Protruding protrusions on both sides of the soquee are approx. 4mm thick. Two pre-drilled holes allow it to be fixed to the wooden stick of your choice to create your own Viking/medieval spear. Additional cable and mounting hardware are not included in the delivery.

Alternatively, collectors can purchase our wooden spearhead stand (available separately, product no. 1816375000) to display their treasures in style in their arsenal.

Note that this spearhead is designed primarily as a decoration piece or collectible accessory and in no way suitable for combat reenactment! The blade tip is not rounded and the edges are not sharp, but slightly ground (with proper equipment and the necessary knowledge and skills, they can be sharpened if necessary).
