Polearms

Our decorated spearheads demonstrate the Viking’s creative mix of art and war, whereby weapons often carried intricate patterns, created 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 is rubbed into the engraving, it remains black while the rest of the surface is polished to a bright finish. Our decorating process uses a little less alchemy, but still provides a lustrous, permanent Niello-like effect. Each spearhead has a shaft diameter of 1”. Spearheads only are supplied.

War Spear Ash Pole Stave
At 6’ 8” long, on a 1” diameter shaft, our War Spear has a distinct Viking ancestry and Frankish styling. The lugged head is balanced by a tail spike, providing the ultimate in pillaging pieces. Our OX005 Ash Poles (7 feet long by 1 Ό” diameter) are suitable both as polearm staves and quarterstaffs. Our XH2038 and XH2040 spearheads are ideal applications for these poles.

Throwing Spear Short Bladed Spear Lance
This style displays the narrow, sharply pointed head designed to pierce mail. Several spears might be 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. Head only The Viking Short Bladed Spear is typical of those of Celtic origin, imported into Scandinavia. The short blade, inherently stiffer and more resistant to bending or breaking, was capable of piercing any body armour of the period. Head only The Lance is an accurate replication of the British 1868 pattern, used with great effect by the cavalry until the end of the century and still in ceremonial use today by the Canadian Mounted Police. The head and tail-piece only are provided and authentic finishing requires either an ash or bamboo pole.

Made specifically for re-enactment use, this spearhead is crafted with a bulbous tip, 3 mm thick edges and rounded flanges. The Viking Thrusting Spear was more commonly used than swords, being much less expensive to produce. The wings or lugs, of Frankish origin, both limited the penetration of the weapon and provided an effective parrying guard.
