Halberd

Martial Melee Weapon

Halberds are martial melee weapons.

The business end of a halberd had three main parts: the axe-head, the back spike and the spear tip. While many pole arms had similar structure, halberds had a few distinguishing features. Their axe-heads were concave (curving inward) to nearly straight, instead of convex like most axes. They were also set at an angle to the shaft instead of being mounted perpendicular. Their back spikes were fairly short and angled slightly downward. Some had spear tips that were long and slender, while others were medium length and broader.
