Hi Daniel, this is great work! The ridging looks particularly elegant.
Did you have specific historical spearhead artifacts that you modeled these after?
I've been researching extensively online to find documented Greek spearhead and saroutor artifacts with decent pictures and a scale attached, with the goal of recreating an accurate Classical-era Hoplite dory spears. But so far I've come up with almost nothing.
The British museum has a single image of a Bronze age spearhead, but no find location or documentation is included.

And the Met has an archaic saroutor, but that's about it.

Researching any Greek weapon artifacts online has been almost futile, unlike my research into viking-age artifacts, many of which are documented beautifully by Scandinavian museums, complete with find dates and locations and scaled photos that are dimension and model from.
