Agreed. This would almost certainly tempt me into my 3rd pole arm purchase. Already have the Italian Bill and Glaive. (And an Axe, Spear, and a couple Javelins... I can stop anytime I want to.)
Curiously, this design is exactly what I imagined when I heard some people claiming guards could use halberds as fire axes in a pinch. It has the hewing hatchet shaped axe blade, and the billhook style spur. Both invaluable in firefighting in the woods or about wooden structures. But you can also see how it would be an excellent weapon in combat againt street thugs too.
narrow are probably a bit easier, I would argue that a fullers main purpose is more to redistribute the same amount of material to create a more robust edge than the weight reduction. It becomes far more decorative an element when you get to this period but early on it was the above function that made the extra effort and work worth while.
Also, could a double fuller be made asymmetrically on a double-edged blade? I'm toying with the idea of a central fuller and a second fuller closer to the false edge. Both no smaller than the pad of the thumb (or no larger than summer thumb). I know it is quite common on single-edged swords. One martial advantage I've noticed with some fullers is as anchor points for even steering with thumb grips. The central fuller is the most handy for this, but the fuller closer to the spine (or false edge) seems handy for thumbed finger-over-guard grips.
@@CDKohmy Yes, asymmetrically fullers whare a thing. Often one deep fuller on one side and the same on the other so the crossection is symetrical if you turn the blade on the long axis.
can you use this as a 1 handed weapon using the socket as a handle when before they were hafted also you can fix the socket over the muzzle of a firearm and use it as a type of bayonet
I suppose you could there are several agricultural tools like that. I would be leery of trying to fix something this big to the muzzel of the fire arms of that period. I suspect the physics would be working against you.
Looks like someone left a Halberd and a Bill alone in the broom closet...
That makes me think of another early halberd where the axeblade ends in a hook...
This is a weapon for an evil elf guarding a wizard.
It would be nice to see this available generally rather than just a custom. Excellent. Nice tapered cross section.
Thank you very much!

Heck ya!
Halberd+Billhook+Partizan=Scorpion-Actual scorpion
Love the design!
Thank you! 😊
A true work of art of the armorer's craft. It could definitely make the point in an argument.
Ultimate social distancing weapon...
I bet it rocks you like a hurricane.
Thanks for sharing. Amazing work!
That's badass.
So aggressively beautiful.
You guys need to stop making these interesting & unique pole weapons-- every time you show one off, I want it!
Apologies to your budget.
Love these crazy guys.
Neat thanks for sharing
Excellent!

A Sergeant's polearm usually have those shorter hafts so it is historical.
That's a nice multi-tool ya got there.
It's perfect for getting boy scouts out of horses' hooves.
ha
No way I'm starting a nomenclature fight in a bar with someone carrying that! 🙂
Excellent fore sight on your part.
It's a billberd!
I called an early Halberd this, but it looks very different. More like a direct fusion of Bill and halberd.
"I can'st doeth that Sir Dave-id" Hal-berdier
Yay!
A halbill.
Fullers on polearms seems interesting. What kind of fullers are easier to make, wide or narrow? Which type does the best job at lightening the weapon?

Can I also order by blunt?
