Does anywhere sell a good durable spear?It's amazing to me how many places sell spears which are fragile and just for looks.A long bar of pointy metal is cool, but realistically something like wood and metal so it's not ridiculously heavy.
>>65582395Pretty sure kult of athena sells battle ready spears for hema and shit
>>65582395The answer is Kult of Athena. It was KoA yesterday and it will be KoA tomorrow. Lrn2internet you dumb frogposter.
>>65582406KoA seems cool, thank you! Still open to other suggestions as well, but KoA is great to learn about. Thank you.>>65582423https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4ORiWh9CUw
KoA seems to make good spearheads, the reviews on the wood don't seem great. So maybe good for a spearhead and then DIY a pole.
>>65582395The really incredible thing about spears is that you can make your own quite easilyYou don't even need a metal spear head if that's too difficult for you, just carve a point into the end of a stick and harden it with fire like your ancestors did
>>65582423Rednecks kill thousands of hogs yearly with spears and the vast majority are using Cold Steel spears they got from Amazon.
It's really hard to get the right kind of wood, it has to be a very light wood that's seasoned.Weapons are so light as to be semi disposable. It only takes one thrust to kill someone so having a lighter spear is a life or death kind of thing. The Romans adopted ultra light pilums, the greeks had throwing javelins.I recommend coppiced hazel, but it has to grow slowly and be dried very carefully.
>>65583543If you plan to use them for more than poking a white boy in his cage before cooking him in a big cauldron you're gonna need a heavier duty construction
Spearheads seem like a diamond dozen, but getting a good shaft and affixing it to combat spec seems like a task unto itself.
>>65584171Why would you use it for anything else?
>>65584217>>65583948The only people in the entire western world who kill anything significant with spears are hog hunters whose stock Cold Steel shafts and spearheads work just fine, everyone talking about renaissance fair LARP garbage has never used one in their entire lives.
>>65582395just buy a pig hunting spearhead and attach a piece of wood of your choice. Then you actually get to trust the shaft you've chosen.
>>65583948You act as if the Romans and Greeks didn't have heavier spears used as primary, non-expendable weapons
>>65582395Just buy a good spear tip and get a 6' to 8' dowel rod from a lumber store and shape an end until þe head fits it.
>>65584796>þWhere does one even find a dual English/Icelandic keyboard?
>>65584812On PC I use þe ALT codes every time.On phone you just have to go to options and turn on þe expanded symbols toggle.ALT+0254 = þ (lower case)ALT+0222 = Þ (Upper Case)
>>65584844I figured as much, either that or you had one of those keyboards where every key was a tiny LED screen or a touch screen keyboard. While i have you here; where i live it is really cheap to fly there for a weekend, how expensive are hotels in Reykjavík?
>>65582562>good for a spearhead and then DIY a pole.This. You save a ton on shipping plus you get to choose your shaft exactly how you want it with wood shafts from Home Depot. Even if you suck initially, you will get better at it. Maybe do other kinds of polearms or really fancy custom carvings on the shaft.
>>65584855Man, I don't know. I live in Indiana. I just really fucking hate þe French, Germans, & Dutch for conspiring to steal a good letter from þe English alphabet.
