Fighting With the Pollaxe

The pollaxe, or as I like to call it the Medieval Can Opener, is a very versatile weapon that can use either end for stabbing or clubbing the opponent. It is a weapon that is meant to be used while in armour on the battlefield, the tournament, or in the duel. The Queue, (the spike on the butt end of the staff) is a strong tool for offense and for defense in the fight. The ‘Dague’ (French) or ‘Dagga’ (Italian) can be used to thrust with, but you can also use either end of the pollaxe to crush the armour of the opponent as well as breaking bones under the armour. Just because a tool like the axe or the sword can’t cut through armour, it can still damage the tissue and the bones under the armour.
