Spears for horseback recommendation?

[Flavivs Aetivs]

One of the guys here on RAT can make you a better spearhead and buttspike than what KOA sells.

Dave Akers I recommend for US, and Robert Wimmers for Europe.

I ordered a spearhead from Dave two days ago in fact, looking forward to it's arrival. My spiculum and verruta I got from him are great!

Also, manufacturer spearheads are dull out of the box. And those Greek Buttcaps are for... well... Greek. Don't know what era you're aiming for, but Roman buttcaps (AFAIK) were simpler.

I'm planning to buy a Pine wooden rod for my infantry spear, as I don't expect having to do much more than jabs with it. My Ash pole is already on my Spiculum anyways. If you have a local woodworker, or possibly a lumberyard, they can get you the ash you need.
