CAS Hanwei Antiqued Thrusting Spear

Overall, the decorated spearheads by Paul Chen demonstrate the Viking's creative mix of art and war. These spearheads have a 16" blade length, with a 9 3/4" weight and a thickness at guard of .695. The weight of each spearhead is 1lb 6oz, and they have a shaft diameter of 1". The process used to decorate these spearheads creates a lustrous, permanent niello-like effect, similar to the intricate patterns created using the "niello" process by the Vikings.

The Viking thrusting spear, supplied without shafts, was more commonly used than swords as it was much less expensive to produce. The wings or lugs, of Frankish origin, serve to both limit the penetration of the weapon and provide an effective parrying guard. The total head length of the spear is 16". These spearheads are a product of China, categorized as sporting goods, and come in packaging with dimensions of 4 L X 14.1 W X 46.1 H (Cm), with a weight of 0.622 Kilograms.

In conclusion, these spearheads not only showcase the Viking's artistry and expertise in warfare, but also provide a practical and cost-effective weapon for combat. The intricate designs and lustrous finish make them a stunning addition to any collection or for practical use in historical reenactments.
