	Halberd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A halberd (or vouge) is a two-handed pole weapon that came to prominent use during the 14th and 15th centuries.
		As the halberd was eventually refined, its point was more fully developed to allow it to better deal with spears and pikes (also able to push back approaching horsemen), as was the hook opposite the axe head, which could be used to pull horsemen to the ground.
		Halberds were the primary weapons of the early Swiss armies in the 14th century.

	Ji (halberd) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ji (jǐ 戟), the Chinese halberd, was used as a military weapon in one form or another from at least as early as the Shang dynasty until the end of the Qing dynasty.
		It was a relatively common infantry weapon, especially in its common bronze age variant known as the dagger-axe, although it was used by cavalry and charioteers as well.
		The wielder could strike with the shaft, with the option of then pulling the halberd back to hook with a side blade; or slap his opponent with the flat side of the halberd blade to knock him off his horse.

	Polearm History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Halberd or Poleaxe was a modification of the throwing axe to give the warrior a greater reach against a mounted fighter.
		The halberd's power was counterbalanced by the vulnerability of taking a full swing with both arms; once committed, the halberdier was totally dependent upon his comrades for protection.
		As with the halberd, effectiveness of shock action with the pike was heavily dependent upon the cohesion and solidity of the troops wielding it.

	Polearms
		In their hands was the halberd, a weapon equally apt to fight a foot-soldier and a mounted knight.
		Many of these weapons have their origin in high-middle-ages farmer’s tools, such as the axe, the pruners, the pitchfork, etc. Besides the halberd, the other polearms that saw widespread use in the period were the pike and the half-pike, the ronca or guisarme, the spiedo and the partisan.
		Compared to the medieval pollax, the high-Renaissance halberd is optimized for the thrust: its axe-head is less ponderous and often remains unsharpened, while its thrusting spike is longer.

	Halberd Revamp (combined) - Planet Elder Scrolls
		Halberds are not meant to be primarily for thrusting, but rather for slashing or chopping, that's why they have a huge blade balanced by a spike.
		halberds take many forms, you got the european style wich is a polaxe combined with a spear, you got the chin era halberds that look like metal L's at the end of a pole and you got yari, japanese spears that are alot like swords at the end of a long pole.
		The halberd has a heavy head due to the weight of the blade and backspike, so it is unwieldy to fence with, much bulkier and slower than a plain spear.
