Boarding Axe

Description

A modern version of the Halberd, the Boarding Axe is a 2-handed weapon incorporating a 1m haft with a spike at each end, and a heavy axe blade backed by an armor-piercing pick. The weapon is deadly at close quarters, allowing a range of attack modes, and also makes a decent survival tool. An optional spade head (§25) is available, which can be swapped for the “weapon” head in a couple of minutes.
