Historically Accurate Fauchard

This Fauchard has a large head of high carbon steel which is durably mounted onto a robust haft of smooth-polished hardwood. Dual screw at the base of the socket reinforce and secure the head of this polearm to its mounting. This glaive-like Fauchard has a hook-like extension on the blade that would have been ideal for pushing or pulling cavalrymen off their mount. The sweeping, cleaver-like blade is perfect for delivering very powerful cuts and chops and its sharply tapered blade point is a surprisingly capable piercing tool. Parrying hooks give a skilled bearer the ability to stop and turn aside strikes from other weapons and prevent them from skipping down the haft to strike the bearers hands and arms after an entanglement in a melee.
