Halberd Axe Hand Forged

Description

Medieval Halberd Axe – Hand Forged Carbon Steel Polearm

Unleash the power and authority of one of history’s most iconic polearms with this Halberd axe, designed for display, collection, and historical presentation. With a mix of reach, balance, and visual look, the halberd was dominant in the battlefield from the late medieval period and remains a symbol of infantry and city guards.

The head is hand-forged from carbon steel and polished cutting edges, for a battle-worn as well as a refined look. Its multi-purpose design includes a spear tip for thrusting, dual axe blades for cutting, and a side fluke for hooking, pulling, or disarming opponents. This versatile design bridges the evolution between the medieval axe and spear-based weapons, and gave one both cutting and piercing capability.

The steel head is securely mounted on a solid ash wood shaft. Ash wood was favored for polearms due to its great shock absorption and high strength to weight ratio. These properties make the shaft durable, flexible under stress, and comfortable to use. Ash also resists splitting better than many hardwoods, which is why it was widely used.

Historically, halberds were wielded by Swiss pikemen, German Landsknechts, and city militias from the 14th to 16th centuries. Their effectiveness influenced later utilities like the medieval battle axe, the Viking axe, and even earlier forms like norse viking axe, all known for strength, reach, and control.

Whether mounted on a wall, placed in a medieval-themed room, the Halberd axe commands attention.
