Crescent Glaive

The Crescent Glaive was a Scandinavian polearm that was effectively a sword mounted atop a long shaft, much like a swordstaff.
==Description==
In spite of its name, the Crescent Glaive was not a glaive because its blade is straight rather than curved and double-edged rather than single-edged. This blade was so long and extensive that the overall weapon was functionally an entire sword sprouting from the end of a pole, complete with a and a crescent-shaped crossguard under the blade and partway along the shaft. The guards themselves sprung blades. A fairly potent weapon, the Crescent Glaive boasted the versatility of a sword and the reach of a spear, fusing the strengths of both.Assassin's Creed: Unity
==History==
During the French Revolution, the Crescent Glaive had found its way to Paris despite its Scandinavian origins. There, it was sold for 5,000₣.

==Trivia==
*The name Crescent Glaive is a misnomer given that the polearm is not in any respects a glaive but a swordstaff. Its name should also not be confused with the Chinese Guandao, a glaive occasionally called a crescent blade in .
