Viking Thrusting Spear

	Full Product Description

The Viking Thrusting Spear was more commonly used than the sword, 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. This decorated forged spearhead demonstrates the Viking 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. The decorating process used now uses a little more technology but still provides a lustrous, permanent Niello-like effect. The Viking Thrusting Spear is fully functional and made of forged steel. Antiqued blade. End cap not included.

Product rating Voting Select your rating... Excellent! Very good Good Fair Poor Rate It! Reviews Author: William Ritchie Quality: Decent Sharpness: No Edge Functionality: No Contact Use First off, this item does not have the black patterns it shows. It's carved, but its all the same silver. The only black was ugly smudges along the non-blade portion. Frankly though, I bought it for spiritual reasons, and it was worth the money for that. Quality-wise? Not so sure....
