Because of their light weight, long reach and multiple-use head, halberds were the favored weapon among horse-back riders. This halberd axe is hand-forged from iron steel and ready for battle, and has an unpolished finish for a more realistic feel. This 18th Century replica axe features a 3 foot long wooden handle for better reach, also known as the haft, and a concave axe head with a sharp spike on the spine and tip of the axe. These features combine for effective use for thrusting, slicing, and armor-piercing blows. Can be professionally sharpened, if desired.
