Norseman Spear — Hand-Forged Viking War Spear with Guard & Pommel

Norseman Spear — Hand-Forged Viking War Spear with Guard & Pommel

The Everest Forge Norseman Spear is our most sword-like spear — a hand-forged Viking war spear with a broad leaf blade, a full steel guard, a Norseman pommel, and a leather-wrapped grip. Where most spears end the blade in a plain socket, the Norseman carries a proper cross guard at the base of the blade and a shaped Norseman pommel at the butt, the same pommel identity as our Norseman Viking Sword. The result is a spear with real sword DNA: broad enough to cut, pointed enough to thrust, and finished like a fighting blade rather than a farm tool. Forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel reclaimed from truck springs, water-tempered, and full-tang from point to pommel, it is genuine, battle-ready steel.

This is the spear for someone who wants more than a spearhead on a stick. The guard gives the hand protection and a hand-stop you simply do not get on an ordinary spear, the long leather-wrapped grip is secure and comfortable in any weather, and the broad blade and Norse styling give it the presence of a chieftain's weapon. It is built for Viking and medieval enthusiasts, serious collectors, reenactors, and anyone who appreciates a fully finished war spear. Like the rest of our work, it is forged to your spec — four blade lengths, four finishes, six grip-wrap colours, six scabbard colours, and free engraving, all included.

Note: The Norseman Spear is an original Everest Forge design inspired by Norse warrior culture. It is a 32-inch hand spear, not a six-foot pole spear on a full shaft; if you want a full-length pole version, we forge those as a custom build.

Sword-Grade: The Guard, Pommel & Grip

What sets the Norseman apart from every other spear we make is how it is finished. A full steel guard sits at the base of the blade, giving your hand real protection and a positive stop — something a plain spear socket cannot offer, and a feature borrowed straight from sword-making. At the other end, a shaped Norseman pommel caps the handle, balancing the blade and tying the spear visually to our Norseman Viking Sword. In between, the long rosewood handle is wrapped in genuine leather for a secure, comfortable grip in any conditions.

Together, the guard, pommel, and wrapped grip turn this from a spearhead-on-a-stick into a properly finished fighting piece — a spear built and detailed like a sword. It is the choice for someone who wants their spear to feel and look like a warrior's weapon, not a tool.

Norse War Heritage

The spear, not the sword, was the true weapon of the Norse warrior — carried by everyone from farmer to jarl, used in the shield wall, in the hunt, and in single combat. It was the weapon of Odin himself, whose spear Gungnir never missed its mark. A well-made spear was a mark of standing as much as a tool of war.

The Norseman Spear is a modern, hand-forged tribute to that tradition — an original Everest Forge design rather than a copy of any single historical piece. It blends the broad, business-like blade of a Norse war spear with the guard, pommel, and wrapped grip of a fine sword, giving you a piece worthy of a chieftain's hall as well as honest use.

Why Collectors & Reenactors Choose This Spear

It is finished like a sword. A full steel guard and a shaped Norseman pommel — sword-grade details you will not find on an ordinary spear.

The grip is built for use. A long rosewood handle wrapped in genuine leather gives a secure, comfortable hold in any weather, in six colour options.

It is real forged steel. Full-tang 5160 spring steel, water-tempered and sharpened — genuine weight, a real edge, and battle-ready strength.

It matches our Norseman Sword. The shared Norseman pommel makes it a natural companion piece for collectors who want a coordinated Norse set.

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

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

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.

Leather grip & scabbard: Keep dry and treat occasionally with leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
