Place a hefty cleaver at
the end of a long, stout shaft, and the leverage
which the pole gives the
wielder will enable him to cleave through
armor. The voulge has no
provision to keep the enemy at a distance in
its simple form, but if
the top front or back edge is ground down so as
to provide a pointed or
dagger-like tip, the weapon assumes a more
complete form. The voulge
was sometimes backed with a spike or
hooked spike to make a crude
guisarme-voulge, a combination-form
weapon which will be discussed
later.
