The spear was the most common weapon of the Viking Age. It was cheaper than a sword, quicker to make than an axe of the same quality, and it reached further than either.Odin’s weapon, and everyone else’sIt also carried the most weight in the myths. Odin’s spear Gungnir never missed, and battles opened by throwing a spear over the enemy line to dedicate them to him. A weapon that was in almost every hand was also the weapon of the chief god, the two facts belong together.Heads were socketed rather than tanged, so a broken shaft could be replaced in the field. Ours are forged the same way, from high-carbon steel, ready to mount on a hardwood shaft.Please check your local law before ordering.
