MILITARY FORK
The lowly hay fork was straightened and strengthened to provide a
very potent weapon, the military fork. This pole arm had two efficient
piercing points, for holding off an enemy, and sometimes a shorter
third tine in the crotch of the fork, so that opponents were channeled
into a third attack. The major drawback to this pole arm was its lack of
effective penetrating power with respect to heavily armored targets.
The fork principle was soon combined with other pole arms to form
very efficient tools of war.
