Product description

This set includes a steel spear tip and brass butt cap for building your own Greek dory. Hoplites of the 2nd and 3rd century BC used the dory, or one-handed spear. The spear featured a shaft 2 to 3 meters long, a spear tip, and a butt cap (sauroter). The shaft cap let warriors plant the spear in the ground, provided counterbalance, and doubled as a spare spear if the shaft broke. Both the spear tip and the butt cap come with pre-drilled holes. Shafts and other accessories are available separately.
