Jacek Robotka 143 Posted July 26 hello, One of the last finished projects. Copy of javelin head from Wielbark culture from Rozwadów, Poland. Hand forged from carbon steel with brass inlays. Wings are forge welded to the socket. Copy of spearhead from Wielbark culture from Zadowice, Poland. Hand forged from carbon steel with brass inlays. Thank you Jacek 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel W 73 Posted July 26 (edited) The more I see spear heads the more I want to finish one! I got two pattern welded projects laying around and one has been begging me to be a spear head with some inlay on the socket! Edited July 26 by Daniel W 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel W 73 Posted July 27 (edited) I wanted to attempt to make a corrugated Anglo Saxon spear head as it seemed a little involved in the forging process. Since then, about a year ago I made up 2 decent patterned blanks. One is already dedicated to be a small knife, the second blank came out in a nice leaf shape. I have not gotten back to them as I found out really fast that I hate the amount of time grinding on them. Edited July 27 by Daniel W 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's about the only way to clean up those corrugated ones, or those T-backed Indo-Persian blades. Of course, you have to forge very close to final shape if you're gonna use that method. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
