Fun bout using my poleaxe versus a longsword!

The poleaxe is really fun to use, you can deliver attacks with a lot of force using the head. Both ends can be used similarly to a spear, and the axe head can be used to catch weapons, and if I miss with a spear thrust, I can get a hit on the way back out with the axe!!

Overall a really fun weapon which I definitely don't see enough!

As you can see, mine needed a better haft...
So I've since replaced it with a polypropylene jo staff :) and lots and lots of duct tape.
