👉 The Danish weapon, also known as the "Danebjerg," is a unique and historically significant weapon from Denmark, primarily used during the Viking Age. It consists of a long, slender spear with a distinctive cross-shaped or diamond-shaped metal ring at the base, which was likely used to secure the spearhead in place. The weapon's name derives from the village of Danebjerg, where it was first discovered. The Danish weapon was highly effective in both close combat and as a ranged weapon, thanks to its long reach and the sharp, often ornate metal tip. Its design reflects the advanced craftsmanship of Viking Age Scandinavians and its use highlights the importance of both practicality and aesthetics in their weaponry.
