BATTLE READY HALBERD AXE SPEAR 89MSG COLD STEEL
The Cold Steel Sergeant's Halberd is often seen as a ceremonial item, carried as a badge of rank by officers and NCOs alike, but in the 16th and 17th Century, it was a much feared weapon of war as well. Measuring 85 1/4' overall and featuring a sharpened 1055 carbon steel blade, this fully functional weapon is surprisingly rugged and durable. Its versatile design allows it to be used as a spear for thrusting, a hook to catch, trap and entangle and as a cutting tool to chop, cut and slice! The Sergeant's Halberd is a perfect addition to the collection of any historical re-enactor or Western Martial Artist and it makes a terrifically effective emergency self-defense tool when your life is on the line.

At the end of the 13th century, the sword ruled supreme as the primary weapon of Knights and Men-At-Arms. However, with the introduction of steel plate armor, the popularity of the sword as a battlefield weapon began to wane. You see, the problem was the sword couldn't cut or crush steel plate and had to be specially designed for use only as a thrusting weapon if it was to have even a chance at piercing plate armor. Enter the Pole Arms- an ideal weapon for use against an opponent who is encased in plate steel. The heavy head could crush the strongest helmet or suit of plate armor with just a few blows and the back spike could rip through helm and plate like a modern can opener!
