Valkyrie Spear — Hand-Forged Fantasy Viking Spear with Winged Blade

Valkyrie Spear — Hand-Forged Fantasy Viking Spear with Winged Blade

The Everest Forge Valkyrie Spear is our most ornate spear — a hand-forged Norse-fantasy showpiece with a winged, skeletonized blade and a decorated grip. Two swept wings flare from the throat of the blade in the manner of a true winged Viking spear, while a long slot is cut clean through the centre of the steel, so light passes through the heart of the blade. The long handle is wrapped in leather, stacked with polished metal collars, and capped with a turned finial pommel — the kind of detailing that turns a weapon into a centrepiece. Forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel reclaimed from truck springs, water-tempered, and full-tang, it is real, battle-ready steel beneath all that ornament.

At 40 inches it is the longest and most commanding spear we make, built for collectors who want a Norse-fantasy piece with genuine presence — something worthy of a Valkyrie, the shield-maidens of Norse myth who chose the slain and carried them to Valhalla. It is for fantasy and Viking enthusiasts, cosplayers and creators, and serious collectors who want the real forged article rather than a cast prop. Like the rest of our work, it is forged to your spec — six blade lengths, four finishes, six grip-wrap colours, six scabbard colours, and free engraving, all included.

Note: The Valkyrie Spear is an original Everest Forge fantasy design inspired by Norse myth and the historical winged spear. It is not a licensed replica of any film, game, or other brand's product, and at 40 inches it is a long hand spear, not a full six-foot pole spear.

The Winged Spear

The wings at the base of the blade are not just for show. Winged spears — sometimes called lugged or winged-lug spears — were a genuine Viking and medieval design, where projections at the throat of the blade stopped the spear from over-penetrating and could catch and bind an opponent's weapon. The Valkyrie Spear takes that historical feature and pushes it into fantasy: bold, swept wings paired with a long slot cut clean through the centre of the blade, so the steel reads as an open, winged silhouette.

The skeletonized cut-out is a real structural feature, not surface etching — it lightens the long blade and gives the spear its dramatic, see-through profile, while the steel stays full and strong around it. The result is a blade that looks like it belongs to myth but is forged like a working weapon.

An Ornate Norse-Fantasy Showpiece

Where most of our spears are plain and businesslike, the Valkyrie is deliberately ornate. The long handle is wrapped in leather, stacked with polished metal collars, and finished with a turned finial pommel — details that catch the light and give the spear the feel of a hero's or a god's weapon rather than a field tool. At 40 inches, with the winged skeletonized blade up top, it is built to be the centrepiece of a display, not lost on a rack.

It is named for the Valkyries — the shield-maidens of Norse myth who chose who lived and who died in battle and carried the worthy to Valhalla. As an original Everest Forge fantasy design, it is yours to personalise into a piece worthy of that legend.

Why Fantasy Fans & Collectors Choose This Spear

It is a true showpiece. A winged, skeletonized blade and an ornate, collared, leather-wrapped grip make it the most dramatic spear in our range.

It is real forged steel, not a cast prop. Full-tang 5160 spring steel, water-tempered and sharpened — genuine weight and a real edge behind the fantasy looks.

It is the largest we make. At 40 inches with a 15-inch blade as standard, it has presence that smaller spears cannot match.

Total customisation is included, not upsold. Six blade lengths, four finishes, six grip-wrap colours, six scabbard colours, and free engraving — all part of the standard build.

It is distinct from our other fantasy spears. Where the Shadow is dark and tactical and the Phantom is broad and bright, the Valkyrie is ornate, winged, and ceremonial.

Who This Valkyrie Spear Is For

Norse and Viking fantasy fans — anyone who wants an ornate, winged, myth-inspired spear with real forged steel behind it.

Serious collectors — a dramatic 40-inch centrepiece that anchors a fantasy or Norse-themed collection.

Fantasy gamers and readers — a piece that looks like it stepped out of a saga or a game, made real in forged steel.

Reenactors drawn to the winged spear — a fantasy take on a genuine Viking and medieval blade form. (Live steel is not intended for contact combat — see the FAQ.)

Gift buyers — free engraving turns it into a showstopping personalised gift for the fantasy or Norse fan who has everything.

Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid long-term storage in the leather scabbard. Display stand or wall mount recommended for this piece.

Rust spots: Light surface rust is normal on 5160 carbon steel and easily removed with very fine steel wool (#0000 grade) and a few drops of oil.

Sharpening: Use a quality whetstone (1000-grit working) at 22–25 degrees per side. Avoid power grinders, which can ruin the temper.

Grip & collars: Keep the leather wrap dry and treat occasionally with leather conditioner; buff the metal collars and pommel with metal polish.
