Adriaan Gerber Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) This is a halberd I made for a reenactor a while back, it's weapon useful in pulling horsemen off their mounts and then, well, you know.. The steel is 5160 and the total length is around 7'. This might be the last thing you'd see in those days: Edited August 21, 2009 by Adriaan Gerber Adriaan Gerber http://www.adriaangerberknives.com sharp@adriaangerberknives.com (207) 667-1307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Adriaan, that is vicious looking! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriaan Gerber Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Adriaan, that is vicious looking! I took the previous one I made to a festival and had the perverse pleasure of having just about everyone in the group wound themselves on it in some way or another, myself included. Too many sharp points to watch out for Edited August 21, 2009 by Adriaan Gerber Adriaan Gerber http://www.adriaangerberknives.com sharp@adriaangerberknives.com (207) 667-1307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shaft is flame-hardened ash. The trouble with the halberd is it gets stuck in your clothing, so when you're pulled off the horse, the hooks stay in and the sharp tip is free to wander about as you're falling.

Rossi Knives Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Looks Great! Please don't pull me off my horse with that thing. Just ask if you want a turn. Cheers, Nick Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands, and an infinite scorn in our hearts. B. Mussolini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
