"A spear without iron at its heel is half-finished work, prone to split the moment it strikes firm turf." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
A dependable polearm demands balance. In the field, an iron butt cap served two vital duties: shielding the vulnerable base of the wooden shaft from damp earth and splintering, whilst counterweighting the spearhead to grant swift recovery in hand.
Each cap is hand-forged from mild steel and finished to a clean, bright polish. Because every fitting is shaped individually by hammer, subtle variations in contour and line naturally occur, providing genuine campaign authenticity. We offer two variants to suit your kit: the traditional round-ended form for historic line work, and the flat-ended design, which grants a steady base when leaning your weapon upright in camp or upon the armoury floor.
Engineered to fit standard timber shafts, this fitting is equally suited for theatrical stagecraft, LARP, light sparring, and living history displays. To seat it properly, rasp your wooden haft down to an exact taper until the metal collar seats flush and tight.
Maintenance in the Arming Chamber:
Mild steel will develop a natural darkened patina with age and service. To keep corrosion at bay, wipe the cap clean with a dry cloth after every engagement to remove moisture. Apply a light film of oil before returning it to dry storage. Avoid leaving it exposed to rain or damp quarters, and this stout fitting will guard your haft through many seasons of drill.
