Viking Polearms

The spear was the most common weapon in Saxon and Scandinavian warfare. It was cheaper and required less skill to produce than a sword. It held great cultural significance to the Viking warrior as it was the primary weapon of Odin, king of the Norse gods. Spears were used by the peasant and warrior class alike and played a key role in Viking formations and tactics. The Vikings used spears for thrusting and throwing, the latter being less decorated as there was no guarantee you would get it back! We offer one of the most comprehensive selections of Viking Spearheads available to buy in the UK. Our selection includes thrusting spears and javelins that can be used for re-enactment of living history. We also offer a great range of decorated Viking spearheads for the collector.
