Very nice.

[@suttlesmetalworks5254]

Thank you

And the welding of the socket to the blade is the weak link

[@suttlesmetalworks5254]

Uhm, no its quite sturdy. With it being forge welded, it becomes one homogenous piece

[@connorlasserre347]

You do know 9 times out of 10 the weld itself is actually stronger than the actual steel if its gonna crack at all it definitley will not be at the weld

[@DONJUILIO]

Wow, that's a beautiful spear. Was the hardwood ash?

[@suttlesmetalworks5254]

Thanks! Oak for the haft

[@mortislaevus4069]

Beautiful work.
How do you prevent the mandrel from forge welding to the cone when forge welding the wings on the cone?

[@suttlesmetalworks5254]

I wrapped the drift with aluminum foil

I hope he blessed the weapon before using it, all great blacksmiths bless their weapons.
