    Good looking but not functional. This spear head is very attractive with its shape and engraving around the socket. However, the head seems to be cast and hollow. This means the edges cannot be sharpened.

    Viking throwing Spear head I am the Jarl of DraugarVinlands. We have two of these spear heads in our arsenal. We call them shield piercers. We use them to throw at target shields. When they hit a shield after being thrown from a few yards away they pierce the shield very easily and are very hard to remove. In a fight if someone were to throw a spear such as this at you and it were to stick into your shield it would render your shield very unwieldy and give the attacker a distinct advantage.

    Hail!

    Ryan Australia Beautifully made spear, very easy to throw accurately and has a lot of penetrating power.

    Paul Chen Viking Throwing Spear I purchased this spear from another retailer due to a price difference. All of the Paul Chen Viking spears have the same hollow construction. They cannot be sharpened due to the hollow nature and therefore cannot function as a spear truly should, as having a sharpened edge is hugely beneficial to penetration and cutting ability.The material, looks, and workmanship are all top notch and can function if “Stick em with the pointy end” is all you require. Again it does look awesome and I will use it for a presentation piece.

    I recieved mine in a fairly quick time. It was really well packed. It arrived in great shape, and comes ready to throw if you have a spearshaft ready. I had sharpened mine, as it did not cone entirely sharp besides the point. It took the edge well and seems to be made out of quality heat treated metal. The socket seems to possibly be cast, and the engraving is sharp to look at. Not sure why other think it could not be sharpened, it is not entirely hollow at all. I recommend this for collectors, re-enactors, or to anyone that just wants to throw a spear.

    I have one of these and am considering purchasing another but wanted to weigh in and help clarify. This is not hollow and is 100% functional. Like the vast majority of spears this is a stabbing weapon, not a cutting weapon. The edges don’t need to be sharp to stab. You absolutely could waste your time and sharpen these edges but it’s clearly not designed for cutting. It’s being sold as a throwing spear and those only need to stab. The point is extremely sharp and reinforced… perfect for stabbing. If you’re looking for a pole arm that can cut, get one with a head designed to do that. But if you’re looking for an incredibly effective javelin or short, light fighting spear this is awesome.
