The Spear in History and Mythology
For a Viking, the spear was both a status symbol and a practical necessity. While swords were expensive luxury items, almost every free man owned a spear. In Norse mythology, the most famous spear is Gungnir, belonging to the god Odin—a weapon that never missed its mark. Viking warriors often cast their spears over the heads of their enemies before a battle to symbolically sacrifice them to Odin. The runes engraved on your spear’s shaft pay homage to this magical tradition, where weapons were often imbued with protective or victory-bringing spells.

Maintenance Guide
To ensure your Norse Dragon Spear lasts for years to come, follow these basic care steps:
- Blade Care: Carbon steel is not stainless. Wipe the blade dry after every use and apply a thin layer of gun oil or mineral oil to prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the spear in a dry environment. Only use the leather sheath on a completely dry and oiled blade.
- Wood Care: The hardwood shaft can be treated occasionally with linseed oil or beeswax to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
- Avoid: Never strike the spear against hard surfaces like stone or concrete, as this could chip the blade or snap the shaft.
We recommend pairing this spear with a Viking shield (e.g., SKU 11025) or an authentic leather belt to complete your Norse warrior kit.
