Set of 5 Hand-Forged Iron Nails with Pyramid Head, 8 cm
Robust Design for Sturdy Constructions
Unlike mass-produced nails, each piece in this set is unique. The hand-forging process leaves slight irregularities on the surface, which are a sign of quality and originality. The prominent, nearly 2 cm high pyramid head stands proud of the wood surface after being driven in, creating an impression of impregnability and strength. The thick, 8 cm long shank ensures an excellent hold even in massive planks and beams.
Where will they look their best?
- Doors, Gates, and Portals: Create an authentic medieval door or reinforce and decorate the gates of your fortress.
- Chests and Trunks: Indispensable for building Viking sea chests, pirate treasure chests, or medieval coffers.
- Rustic Furniture: Ideal for constructing massive tables, benches, shelves, and other pieces of furniture with a historical flair.
- Structural Elements: Perfect for joining beams, building camp equipment, or constructing palisades.
- Decorative Hooks: Drive them only part-way into a sturdy beam to create stylish and extremely durable hooks.
Installation Tip: Due to the thickness of the shank, we recommend pre-drilling a pilot hole of a slightly smaller diameter in harder woods to prevent the material from splitting.

Product Care
The blackened finish provides basic protection against corrosion. For indoor use, almost no maintenance is required. If the nails are exposed to the elements, they may develop a surface patina of rust over time, which can be desirable for an authentic historical appearance. for additional protection, they can be coated with clear lacquer, wax, or oil before installation.
