Being primarily a stabbing weapon, a spear's ability to inflict harm is typically dependent on two key factors, those being length and width. This Leaf Shaped Celtic Spear has both qualities, making it a truly impressive weapon of medieval origin. This spear's leaf-shaped blade possesses a wide, rounded bottom that gradually tapers down until it culminates to an effective stabbing point. The effect of which is that the narrow point makes it easy to slip through armor and into your opponent, while the wide base means that a full-force stab will leave behind a wide, potentially fatal wound. This spear also features a small cut-out just around its spine, which is as decorative as it is functional, helping to balance the spear-point and lighten its weight. The spear-head is crafted from carbon steel and measures approximately 15 inches long, while the included hardwood shaft measures approximately 72 inches long. Simple and straight-forward, this Leaf Shaped Celtic Spear is a great choice to take up, wield, and display when you're looking for something that's classic in its medieval design.
