In Norse mythology Gungnir is Odin's spear, which never missed its mark. My spearhead has the classic leaf shape — a broad, flat blade with a clear midrib that cuts and thrusts well.

I forge the spearhead from a single bar of 1065 steel: I draw out the blade with the hammer and roll the socket hot around a mandrel. I harden the edges and temper them to 54–56 HRC.

The socket has an inner diameter of 25 mm and a rivet hole, so you can fit the head on a typical ash shaft. If you prefer a ready spear, see “Geirr” — complete, on a shaft.
