Decorative reproduction of an ax of arms of the French infantry, was a short weapon of between 50 and 80 cm, that used to have a handle of wood. Its armed head was formed by a vertical blade, and an ax blade, lighter than normal.
The battle axes of the sixteenth century was the military version of the traditional axes of lumberjack, but lighter to wield with greater ease and with a sharper blade for greater effectiveness. It was one of the most powerful and effective cutting weapons of the time, and was used mainly nailing it on the shield, thus generating an added weight to the enemy combatants, who were forced to release it being exposed.
At this time, the appearance of plate armor caused the specialization of axes, which begin to have a blade on the opposite side of the blade, as well as a vertical blade at its top. This is because the penetration was a determining factor when transferring the armors.
