lance

Happy Easter!


I was thinking a lot about, what would be the appropriate piece of steel to celebrate Easter with, because to me, any holiday would be "pointless" without steel So taking into consideration that Easter is about the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus, rather than cute fluffy bunnies and painted boiled eggs, there is really little room to entwine this legend with an edged thing. And suddenly I was stuck with the obvious recognition: the lance of Longinus!
But of course! How could I miss this one out??
Christian mythology states, that Jesus was pierced on the side as he hung on the cross:

"One of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance, and immediately there came out blood and water."

— John 19:34

Thus creating the last of the Five Holy Wounds of Christ.

So it was settled. A lance it will be... behold!


The total length is 36.5 cm long, forged of one single piece of 5160.
The edge is 17 cm long and the socket can accommodate a 2.3 cm wide shaft.


Hope you guys like it

If you doubt Easter is a Pagan holiday, remember the timing of this celebration is governed by the phases of the moon.

Unless you're a pighunter who thinks a rifle with fixed bayonet is too loud/whatever, you've just made a decoration.

I think most Roman spears of 33 AD were pila.

Actually it is a viking spear's quasi reproduction, but that wouldn't cope with Easter, would it?

It'd be perfect for the Germanic pagan Eostre.

Yeah, that would be more appropriate in every way. Too bad that she's largely forgotten.

I should specify, I do not consider my Jewish brethren pagan.

I think you're right. A pilum would look far different, but eh... shrug. W/E

As I said earlier, historical accuracy isn't the point here. You guys must be really annoying, during a costume movie
