Unleash the spirit of ancient warriors with this 17" hand-forged Viking spear knife, a masterful blend of historical design and modern functionality. Handcrafted from high grade 5160 carbon steel (recycled truck leaf spring), this versatile tool doubles as a throwing machete, Viking sword, and essential survival gear. Its sharp, double-edge blade is ready for immediate use, whether chopping through brush, defending in the wild, or adding to your collection of authentic Viking-style quipments.
Why This Viking Spear Stands Out
Inspired by medieval Viking equipment, this spear sword features a balanced 17-inch blade and an equally long rosewood handle for two-handed control and precise throws. Unlike mass-produced knives, each piece is handmade, ensuring unique character and superior durability. It's lighter and more maneuverable than traditional spears, making it ideal for bushcraft enthusiasts, hunters, and collectors seeking a "throwing machete sword" that's both practical and evocative of Norse history.

Historical and Practical Insights
Viking spears were essential tools for warriors, used in hunting, combat, and daily life. This modern recreation draws from that legacy, with a carbon steel blade that's oil-quenched for hardness (similar to listings with 58-60 HRC ratings). Compared to shorter throwing knives (often 7-12 inches), its extended length provides machete like chopping power, while the full tang design prevents breakage during impacts perfect for camping, hiking, or emergency preparedness.
Versatile Uses for This Survival Throwing Knife
- Outdoor Adventures: Acts as a bushcraft machete for clearing paths, building shelters, or processing game.
- Survival and Hunting: Reliable full tang throwing spear for self-defense, foraging, or precision hunting.
- Collecting and Gifting: A unique Viking sword replica, ideal as a gift with history buffs, reenactors, or blade enthusiasts.
- Everyday Utility: Sharp enough for woodwork or yard tasks, with the included leather scabbard for safe storage.
