First succesful spear head. it looks a little rough but that is ok to me because it was really just an experiment to see if i could do it. Stormcrows bush sword videos really inspired me. after watrching them this afternoon i immediatly set out to make a spearhead. and well here is a few hours labour. as always, questions and helpful comments and critisim welcome :)

Glad to help inspire, especially given how many thousands of blacksmiths and knifemakers whose work I have perused for inspiration!

Not bad for your first crack at it. I've never actually taken a jab at spearmaking (yes, that was a pun), though it's on my list of things to experiment with.

One bit of advice would be to spread the butt-end of the socket more before rolling. To give you an idea of scale, on my bush sword handles, the preform before I roll the handle is around 2 1/2" across and the butt end is around 3 3/4" across.
