Spearhead includes a 4 1/2" steel socket. 9 1/4" long spear head is 2" wide and 3/16" thick. 14 3/4" overall. Wt.-1 lb. (Pole can be purchased at hardware store.)

Long Bladed Hewing Spear


Although we do not know the exact shape and form of the Viking hewing spear, we do know that they were used. Hank Reinhardt designed this spear based on his own experience. This is a spear that would thrust effectively, and yet have the power to cut decisively. High carbon steel blade. Slim and attractive, it is just the spear to carry on your next medieval outing. Pole not included. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Overall 25" * Blade- 16" long, 2 1/4" wide.

 


Danish Hand Axe


To the victims of the Vikings, they were all Danes. It didn't matter whether they came from Norway, Denmark or Sweden, they called them Danes. Most everyone is familiar with the larger Danish Axe, with the monstrous blade sometimes over a foot wide. But smaller axes were quite popular for all sorts of work, hewing the limbs of trees as well as the limbs of men. They could be thrown if needed, but were quite handy in close combat with or without a shield. High carbon steel blade. Not only is this a fine replica, it is a fine axe in its own right. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Overall 21" * Wt.-1 1/2 lbs. CIRCA 850.

 


Seax


The seax, or sax, was universal in Northern Europe. Carried and used by the Saxons, Angles, Vikings and German tribes, its use probably dates before the fall of Rome and continues on into the early Middle Ages. From small knives with 3-4 inch blades to actual swords with blades of 27-28 inches, always single-edged, the profile of the seax varied a great deal. The original version of this large knife served from camp work to cutting work, on shipboard, and for fighting if a sword or axe was not available. The lobed pommel and guard are brass, and the wood grip is studded with brass tacks, for a very secure and comfortable grip. The blade is etched on both sides, flat ground, and capable of taking and holding a razor sharp edge. Leather sheath riveted and laced like the originals, has two thong slots. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Overall-19". Blade-13" long, 1 5/8" wide, 1/8" thick. Wt.-1 lb. The remnants of this Seax can be seen in the British Museum. Circa 750.
