   • Inside Medieval Hunting Spear Forging: Why...  

This full-process documentary explores how the medieval hunting spear—often called the boar spear—was forged by hand to face one of the most dangerous animals in Europe. Wild boar hunts were not sport in the modern sense; they were brutal, close-range confrontations that injured and killed experienced noblemen despite armour, rank, and training.

Step inside a medieval hunting spear workshop and explore every major stage of production, including:
• Iron and steel selection for impact resistance
• Forging long, rigid spearheads for deep penetration
• Shaping broad blades to cause rapid bleeding
• Adding crossguards to stop a charging boar from reaching the hunter
• Heat treatment for strength under sudden force
• Shaft construction for control, balance, and leverage
• Final inspection before use in noble hunts

This video blends medieval blacksmithing, weapon engineering, animal behaviour, and aristocratic hunting culture, revealing why ordinary spears were not enough—and why specialised designs were essential for survival.

In medieval Britain and Europe, boar hunting was a test of courage, status, and discipline. The spear was not merely a tool of sport, but a carefully engineered safeguard against an animal capable of killing a man in seconds.

If you enjoy how things were made, medieval technology, historical weapons, noble traditions, or full-process documentaries that explain why designs existed at all, this cinematic walkthrough shows how hunting weapons reflected real danger, not leisure.
