NAME
  halberd

DESCRIPTION
  A halberd is a weapon consisting of an ax blade balanced by
  a pick with an elongated pike head at the end of the staff.
  It is about five to six feet long.
  
  It enables a foot soldier to contend with an armored man
  on horseback; the pike head is used to keep the horseman at a
  distance, and the ax blade can strike a heavy cleaving blow
  to finish the opponent. The blades of halberds have a variety
  of shapes, often being engraved or inlaid and exquisitely
  finished as works of art.
