This weapon is a development of the scythe or sickle.
Set upon a long pole,
the curving blade of a fauchard could be used for both cutting and thrusting,
although it is to be strongly suspected that it did neither too well.
Furthermore,
the weapon offered little in the way of parrying or catching/holding and had no provision for dismounting opponents in its early and more common form.
Later models include a back hook to dismount horsemen,
but the weapon was still not efficient,
and it passed out rather quickly,
although its combination form,
the fauchard-fork,
remained.
