Paalbijl bec de corbin, semi-scherp Luifels - tentharingen en touw providing protection to the bodyThe bec de corbin (French: bec de corbeau, raven's beak) is a poleaxe from the 15th16th century, related to the war hammer. It weapon resembles the Lucerne hammer and consists of a hammer head with a point on a long handle. Unlike the Lucerne hammer, mainly the beak or hook was used, not the hammer blade.
