Chacing staff

A chasing staff is a kind of polearm that was used in the middle ages of Europe. It consisted of an iron shod staff some 10–12 feet long, with a spike on the butt end and a metal head at the other. The head was made of a large flat 'blade' which had a few small protrusions comming off of the top and back. It resembled an early halberd or bill (weapon).
