German Cavalry Axe
To begin with, the
German Cavalry Axeknown as the Raven's Woodpecker, used by the cavalry in southern Germany.
The battle axes of the XVIᵉ century were the military version of traditional woodcutter's axes, but lighter for easier handling and with a sharper blade for greater effectiveness.
At this time, the appearance of plate armor, led to the specialization of axes, which began to have a beak on the opposite side of the blade, as well as a vertical blade at its top.
The addition of a spike at the end of the handle allows for estoc strikes, useful for piercing protective armor such as plate armor.
