Pole Arms, Spearheads & Butt Caps

I bought this to cap the end of my spear.  Good for protecting the spear's base and gives it a more finished look. I will probably buy another for the end of my poleaxe.

I bought this to cap the end of my wife spear.  Good for protecting the spear's base and gives it a more finished look.

I bought a pair of these from the Deal of the Day and have no regrets.  Very nice.

I love this weapon. I appreciate the elegance of the sheer practicality of it: this is a large, functional weapon for taking down armored opponents. While it resembles some war hammers offered on the site, the extended hook (raven's beak), which actually has the thickness and weight of a dagger, which contributes to the weapon having both a wicked look about it and its austere beauty. Displaying the weapon required some ingenuity due to it having spikes that extend from the sides of the head of the weapon as well, but that is my only negligible criticism. It looks terrific on my wall and retains a tight, solid feel after all the swinging it around I have put it through. I am very satisfied with this weapon and would buy it again, no reservations.

This is a pretty simple item with a pretty simple purpose which it fulfills quite nicely.
The Buttcap fits nicely on most shafts and is excellently constructed. The price is very fair as well. It does not have any pre-drilled holes in it, so do keep that in mind when if intend to mount it.

This should be a requirement for most reenactors that will subject their weapon to real life battle ground exposure. Any other surface beyond bare grass will cause wear to the wooden end of the spear, and sooner or later you will have to shorten the spear to repair the worn area of the shaft. Pop one of these on the bottom and problem solved. Looks great, being of the same material as the spearheads, and is heavy enough that it should outlast me.

First of all the point is very sharp so please handle it with that in mind. The overall style is easily generic to many time periods. Tough steel. Feels very solid. I mounted mine on a hardwood shaft using epoxy. It has holes in it ready for rivets or other metal fasteners to mechanically attach it. Would buy again if needed, but I feel the quality of it will outlast any need for replacement.

Great spear head. Mounted it to solid wood shaft I made. Looks great.

I have been looking at both hewing spears versions for some time. When this variant came up on Deal of the Day, I pulled the trigger on two of them. Even if never used in real life, I like for all my weapons to be battle ready, rather than just accurate 'facsimiles'.

To bring them up to their full battle potential, I shipped them to Razor Edge Sharpening in Laguna Niguel, CA (https://www.razoredgesharpening.com/).

Mounted on a 5' shaft of hardwood, along with the tapered butt-cap.....absolutely incredible weapon.  Or.....get two and mount them both on a short haft. Be the Viking equivalent of Darth Maul!!!
