Medieval Viking Iron Halberd Polearm Head

"A warrior who masters the reach of a polearm dictates the rhythm of the entire fray." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge

Forged from solid iron, this medieval Viking halberd bridges the transition between northern broadaxes and the versatile polearms that governed later medieval battlefields. In the press of combat, reach and leverage rule supreme. This formidable weapon head provides both, featuring a robust cutting crescent paired with a thrusting point, hammered out to withstand the trials of reenactment and field display.

Crafted with an eye towards practical martial service, the heavy iron head presents an authentic dark patina straight from the forge. Its traditional open socket allows a warrior to fit their own hardwood haft – be it ash, hickory, or oak – tailoring the total length to garrison duty, rank fighting, or single combat. Pre-drilled affixing points ensure you can rivet or pin the head securely against heavy vibration and sustained handling.

Whether you portray a seasoned Norse huscarl transitioning into feudal warfare or a levy soldier defending the palisade, this piece holds genuine presence in hand. For proper maintenance, treat the bare iron with a light coat of mineral oil or beeswax between campaigns to fend off dampness and rust. Inspect the haft fitting regularly after martial drill to ensure the socket remains seated tight against the wood. It stands ready for the workbench and the field alike.
