obuch

From Warlike

Q66888248




The obuch, obuszek or obuszysko is a type of melee weapon, very similar to a horseman's pick but differing from it with a curved beak opposite the hammer. In Poland, it was customary to distinguish this type of weapon by the type of tip: if it has a sharp, perpendicular beak, it is a horseman's pick; if the beak is curled downward, it is an obuch; if it has an axe head, it is a czekan. Most often there was a hammer on the opposite side of the blade.
