[@ainmhidh1154]

How did you close and center the Top of the socket? That's the part I'm most confused about.

[@niqnact1121]

Where do you get your steel

[@murkypuddle33]

that amazing. great job! what kind of forge is that?

[@cholulahotsauce6166]

Single venturi burner propane if I'm guessing

[@alexlindekugel8727]

[@voeunsavothy508]

Would have been nice to see how you center it. Beautiful spearhead

[@CharlesJonesblades]

Thank you! Do you mean centered over the socket?

[@voeunsavothy508]

@@CharlesJonesblades yes I figured it out lol. Im just starting out forging

[@juanmunoz295]

I want one!

[@CharlesJonesblades]

They are available for order on my Etsy!

[@Turin-Fett]

Did you arc weld the seam?

[@CharlesJonesblades]

Yes this Customer wanted the gap closed, so it was welded shut prior to normalizing and heat treating!

[@advocateanandbrahmbhatt]

Can I buy your products in India?

[@kniter]

Really cool project! Do you consider 5160 to be the ideal metal for a spear like this? Or do you consider any of the other steels ive seen you work on to be "better"?

[@CharlesJonesblades]

5160 is a very tough steel so it what I tend to make a lot of swords and rough use blades out of it, and its pretty easy to work with!

[@bearfootknivesgunforge9183]

Great lookin spearhead. Question for ya. Will the socket now be considered the weak spot because the offset and how it wraps around shaft vs a split shaft and solid tang? I've thought about mskin a Spearhead like yours now for yrs but never pulled the trigger so to speak. God Bless

[@CharlesJonesblades]

The cone shape of the socket makes it very strong, it is much stronger than the shaft that it will get mounted on. The area of the spearhead most prone to possible damage will be the point.

Are you making a musical?

[@ericbernal3460]

👍🏼

[@Oblivionwolf38]

just want to say there wasn't any tempering shown which means that blade could be very brittle and not truly functional

[@CharlesJonesblades]

It was tempered twice at 450 degrees. I usually dont show any tempering vecause its pretty boring

[@FSAM2132]

Pity you didn't show how you did the offset to line up the blade & socket..otherwise nice job..

[@CharlesJonesblades]

At 7:16 you can see how I did it, I move the socket over the edge of the anvil and gently persuade the socket to be centered with the blade. I did a couple strikes like this to get it just where I wanted it but that is the jist.

[@warriorsportsuk]

Do you sell your spear heads?

[@CharlesJonesblades]

Yes I do!
