The halberd

The halberd, a 13th-century weapon, combined a spear, axe, and hook. It was primarily used by infantry to combat cavalry and armored opponents.

Despite its versatility in combat, it could thrust, chop, or hook. However, its heavy weight made it difficult to handle.

With the rise of firearms, the halberd was replaced by other polearms, marking the end of its era in warfare.
