Tempered Steel Tapered Spear Butt Spike For Shafts

Crafted with precision from tempered mild steel, this tapered spear butt spike is a fine example of traditional medieval and early Renaissance craftsmanship. It is designed to fit securely on the opposite end of a spear shaft, serving as a counterbalance and protective cap. When planted into the ground, it prevents the wooden shaft from splitting or wearing out, while adding strength and stability to the weapon.

Its tapered socket allows for a snug and secure fit onto various shaft sizes, and the polished finish gives it a clean, professional look that complements any handcrafted polearm. Beyond its practicality, this piece remains true to historical designs, making it ideal for collectors, and craftsmen who value authenticity.

Every spike is individually hand-crafted and heat-tempered, for exceptional durability and long-lasting performance for both display and use.
