Lukasz Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Hey guys! Last time i am spending long hours with forging spearheads. This time it came with socket in octagonal shape, just had enough of round ones Socket was fire welded than shaped on octagonal horn. Blade constructed from soft steel core, two pattern welded bars, nine layers each, twisted opposite directions. Cutting edges made out of old shear steel. Spearhead is 43 cm long.

Lukasz Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I am so happy that you like it! I spent couple of hours with hand file to make edges really symmetrical after forming it on the octagonal horn. I based this one on spearheads from museum in Copenhagen, just changed blade shape a bit. Edited February 13, 2012 by Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 that is just wonderful. not "too much", just a darn cool piece. kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.

Mike Sheffield Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You are the MAN!!! I also really like how you used shear steel. My life is like shaving with a razor sharp machete. It's a bit awkward and I feel a sting every now and then, but in the end I'm happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
