Here is the first successful experiment in recreating the famous Finnish lance. The core of the spear consists of wrought iron which have been forge-welded to the spear socket. Twisted pattern-welded bar has then been attached to the core in another forge-welding pass. Finally, the outer higher-carbon steel has been prepared with a wolf’s tooth pattern and then also attached via forge welding. Expect a video documenting the whole process.
Update: Read the following post about a step-by-step video guide of [forging and recreating the wolf tooth spear]({{ relref “/post/forging-a-pattern-welded-spear/” }}).
