Primary Material: Wood, Steel
This is a large bladed spear designed for either for hunting or for military purposes, specialized for one on one combat as a two-handed weapon, though it can also be used one-handed. It has long, broad spear blade rather than a mere point, suitable for cutting like a sword as well as piercing. European hewing spears, also often called ‘boars spears’, often also featured a ‘T’ shaped cross guard which serves as a hook for grappling, as lugs for parrying, and to prevent an impaled victim (or a boar) from pushing themselves down the shaft to get at the wielder. Hewing Spears without these lugs such as those found outside of Europe should be considered 7/1/2 with no Grapple Bonus. Popular throughout Iron Age and Medieval Europe, this was a weapon closely associated with the Vikings. This type of spear usually also features langets to protect the haft.
