Badass Fantasy Billhook (Axe / Sword Staff Hybrid) Tested

Is it a polearm? Is it a gardening tool? It’s a beast! Quite an interesting design, and effective too. It looks most like a billhook, but also resembles some type of voulge. One side has a curved hook with a sharp but sturdy edge for chopping and cleaving hard targets, the other is straight and extremely sharp for slashing softer targets. It’s also remarkably light and well-balanced. I could imagine it as a two-handed weapon for a ranger character in a role-playing game, or a rogue / fighter who wants both speed and power. Would also fit in the hands of the Diablo barbarian (in a larger version, I guess).
