Most maces on the market are cast, which means the head is poured into a mould and the grain runs nowhere in particular. Forged heads are hammered, so the grain follows the shape and the flange roots do not crack under load. It costs more and takes longer, and it is the only reason to buy one of these rather than a decorative copy.
The six heads and what they weigh on
Ironpetal is the classic flanged head, twenty six inches overall with a five and a half inch head on American walnut with polished steel ferrules. Starthorn is the Gothic spiked version at the same length with a slightly smaller head and steel collars. Nightthorn is the morning star, with a five inch head, turned brass collars and a butt cap on dark hardwood. On the Damascus side, Emberflange runs twenty seven inches with a six inch flanged head on rosewood with a leather wrapped grip. The bar maces are the blunt end: Ashcudgel on American ash and Stormflute at twenty eight inches with a seven inch head on an all steel blackened haft.
They sit in maces, inside the wider Norse arms range. For where each shape came from, read the war hammer and mace guide.
