Historical Build: Forging a Viking Spear [Video]

From That Works:

In this episode we forge a Viking Spear using as close to historical materials and methods as possible. We make Steel from Iron using a sheer steel or blister steel method of carborizing. We forge the spear socket from wrought iron and do a multibar twisted core with a blister steel edge wrap. We also show some silver inlay techniques and do some fancy filework when its all done. Ilya goes above and beyond on this project and then we have some fun using the spear in the demo. There may even be an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla sneak peek or two throughout the video.
