Hand-Forged Medieval Spear Butt Caps Polished Mild Steel Spear Ends – Historical Combat & LARP Fittings

Complete your spear with our Hand-Forged Medieval Butt Caps, available in both flat-end and round-end styles. These polished steel fittings are more than decorative, they provide balance, durability, and authenticity to your spearhead shafts.

Historically, spear butt caps (or saunders / shoe ferrules) were essential for preventing the shaft from splitting, reinforcing the weapon during combat, and adding weight for improved handling. Our version is crafted from mild steel with a clean polished finish, designed to fit shafts of approximately 30 mm diameter.

• The Round-End Butt Cap gives your spear a smooth, traditional finish while protecting the rear.

• The Flat-End Butt Cap provides a practical standing surface, perfect for planting your spear upright during displays or maneuvers.

Ideal for light combats, LARP battles, living history events, or museum-style displays, these spear butt caps reflect true medieval design while offering modern durability. Strong, easy to fit, and historically accurate, they are the perfect finishing touch for any spear.
