Hand Forged Blackened Iron Age Medieval Spear Head - High Carbon Steel Functional Lozenge Throwing Spearhead Attachment - Shaft Not Included

excellent product . perfect for display or survival

Came sharp and ready to hang some of the lines are slightly off but its a spear head not a $500 knife. Excellent all around.

This thing will get the job done! Heavy, blade is holding the edges I put on them. Came semi sharp,

Very pointy but no sharp edges

I needed a minimally aggressive looking and safe end to a hiking stick to convert it into a hands-free monopod for my cell phone camera. It is not sharp so should not violate any laws. I put this on the end of a broom handle which turns the broom handle into a decent hiking stick/monopod when a cell phone bracket is added. Add a Bluetooth to trigger the camera and this becomes a very stable hands free monopod.

I made a few spears. They broke within a week using a soft target or dirt. Weak and poorly made baddy tooled and not impressive.

Picture one is iron and picture two is stainless steel. When the first item, picture one, arrived, it was painted black. I went to Bob Villa's site and boiled it in water and vinegar to soften the paint for removal. The remaining paint came off with a drill and brass brushes. Now I'm shopping for a six-foot plus dowel. It's a nice spearhead if you take enjoyment in making historical weapons for a hobby.

I use it as a javelin or "light spear" for Viking re-enactment. I put it on a 5-ish foot long ash tool handle I got from Home Depot that I hewed and shaved down to fit the socket. I drilled a hole in the socket so I could pin the head on the haft with an iron tack. Socket and head are one-piece. Socket's seam was "sealed" so as to look solid but after a close inspection you can tell it has a seam (the Amazon picture also shows this detail). It is iron and a bit soft, historically accurate in many cases for a commoner's spear or javelin. After hitting a few targets when thrown you will get some dents in the point/edge. Files down easy. Head and socket always stays true and in line though. At this price-point, and $10 for the haft and a tad of elbow-grease, you get a decent and historically accurate javelin or light spear that'll fit many periods for the re-enactor.
