Thrusting War Spear – 66" Narrow Blade (1095 High Carbon Steel)
The spear is one of the oldest weapons ever used, but by the medieval period it had evolved into highly specialized forms designed for different roles in combat. Among these, the thrusting war spear emerged as a refined weapon built for reach, speed, and precision.
As infantry tactics developed across Europe and Asia, soldiers increasingly relied on long, narrow-bladed spears that could penetrate armor gaps and strike effectively from a distance. Unlike broader leaf-bladed spears of earlier periods, these designs emphasized reduced resistance on entry, allowing for faster recovery and repeated thrusts—an essential advantage in formation fighting.
Weapons of this type share similarities with early pike formations and later battlefield polearms, where disciplined ranks used extended reach to control space and keep opponents at a distance. The narrow blade profile was particularly effective against lightly armored targets and in tightly packed engagements where cutting motions were limited.
This Thrusting War Spear reflects that evolution. It features a slim 1095 high carbon steel blade, offering strength, durability, and edge retention. The elongated profile is designed for efficient penetration, while the 66-inch hardwood shaft provides extended reach and leverage.
A single break point allows the spear to separate for transport and storage—bringing a traditionally large weapon into a more practical modern format without sacrificing its overall presence.
Grounded in historical design and built with functional materials, this spear captures the transition from early war spears to more specialized thrust-focused weapons used in organized combat.
