Viking javelin tip, approx. 41 cm



The long, narrow and pointed Nordic spearheads (9th/11th century, type K according to Petersen, found mainly in Sweden) were ideal for throwing. Their shape and weight, together with the momentum obtained by the force of the throw, ensured a high penetrating power.



On the battlefields of the High Middle Ages, the Norse often carried several javelins or spears which were thrown at opponents as soon as they were close enough. This meant that warriors could wield their heavier swords, axes or spears unhindered in the ensuing melee.



The Viking/Early Medieval javelin spearhead we offer here is made of heat-treated EN45 carbon steel. It is approximately 41 cm long, has blades that are approximately 28 cm long and two holes allow it to be mounted on a wooden handle of your choice to create your own Viking spear. Delivery is without shaft and without fixing material.



Alternatively, collectors can also purchase our wooden spearhead stand (sold separately, item number 1816375000) to stylishly display their treasures in their armory.



Please note that this spearhead was primarily designed as a collector's item, decorative item or accessory and is not suitable for display combat! The tip of the blade is not rounded and the edges are not sharpened but ground (with proper equipment and practical experience they can be sharpened if necessary).
