The halberd effectively combined the finest attributes of the spear, a XE, and hook into one devastating weapon.
It was able to pierce the thickest steel armor and pulverize a sturdy helmet or shield.
The halberd's 'beak' could also be used to drag a heavily armored knight from his mount to be summarily butchered by the halberd wielders' brothers in arms.
The Cold Steel Swiss halberd is almost identical to its heavy-duty historical counterpart, except that it is made from modern materials.
Featuring a fully sharpened spike, a XE blade, and beak (hook), it is a multi-faceted weapon that can hack, stab, or entangle even a heavily armed and armored opponent.
