Viking cutting spear / cutting spearhead, approx. 64 cm
The spear was very popular during the Viking Age. Due to the large number and variety of specimens that have been preserved, it is assumed that spears were used more frequently than swords, as they were not only simpler but also much cheaper to produce.
Although some Norse sagas suggest the existence of so-called cutting spears or slashing spears (e.g., the Njáls saga, a 13th-century Icelandic saga in which the warrior Gunnar Hámundarson wields such a spear or atgeir), there is still no archaeological evidence of this special form of spear. In the absence of surviving originals (or parts thereof), every replica is based exclusively on interpretations of written sources from the High and Late Middle Ages and can only provide an idea of what such polearms might have looked like.
If they did exist, the spears, which offered greater reach in hand-to-hand combat than swords and axes, were not only suitable for thrusting or stabbing, but also for cutting. They differed from other types in that (as their name suggests) they allowed for cutting and slashing.
The large Viking Age cutting spearhead (approx. 64 cm long) that we offer here is made of heat-treated EN45 carbon steel. The wide, leaf-shaped blade is approximately 50 cm long, tapers to a point, and is reinforced with a distinctive central rib that provides additional stability. Two holes allow it to be mounted on a wooden shaft of your choice to create your own Viking spear. Delivery does not include a shaft or mounting material.
Alternatively, collectors can also purchase our wooden spearhead stand (sold separately, item number 1816375000) to stylishly display their treasures in their armory.
Please note that this spearhead is primarily designed as a collector's piece, decorative object, or prop and is not suitable for combat reenactment! The tip of the blade is not rounded and the edges are not sharpened, but ground (with the right equipment and practical experience, they can be sharpened if necessary).

The above specifications may vary slightly from one specimen to another.
The steel used here is not stainless and may show slight signs of corrosion. We recommend taking care of the spearhead periodically, for example with Ballistol, a universal oil ideal for preserving steel products.
