Poll Axe

A pollaxe is a deadly combination of an axe, spear, and war hammer; and it became increasingly popular in the late middle ages, particularly in trial by combat and duels. Pollaxe's were very similar to the halberd, however a halberd typically had a hook to rip horsemen off of their horses or to reach around and cut out a man's legs; whereas a pollaxe has a warhammer, which was used to smash through ones armour, breaking ribs and bursting organs.
