Spears, lance heads and halberds
This is one of the broadest categories in the section. Alongside classic spears, it includes lance heads, halberds, naginata, separate spearheads and less common forms such as the tiger fork. The range of names alone shows that this is not a single object type. Some models have a strongly historical character, some refer to Asian forms, while others look more modern or film-inspired. The first useful step is deciding whether the piece is meant for collection, costume, display or supervised training.
Visible examples include the Hanwei Naginata, Hanwei yari, Chinese Pudao, Hsu Quandao, Viking spear models, M48 designs and separate lance or halberd heads. The parameter data repeatedly shows 1055, 2Cr13 and SK-5 steels, and some entries list blade thickness at 3 or 14 mm. That already suggests large differences in scale and construction, even when a few product images may seem close at first glance.
How to compare the group
It helps to compare length, weight, the way the head is mounted and whether the item is a complete spear or only the main head component. With longer pole forms, the storage, transport and display space matters almost as much as the object itself.
After unpacking, check the straightness of the shaft or tang, the finish and all connection points. Large items of this kind are best stored so they do not rest against random hard edges or stay compressed by other equipment. A dry place and occasional surface inspection are usually enough to keep them in good condition.
