A fauchard is a type of polearm weapon which was used in medieval Europe from the 11th through the 14th centuries. The design consisted of a curved blade put atop a 2 m (6–7 feet) long pole. The blade bore a moderate to strong curve along its length however unlike a glaive the cutting edge was only on the concave side. This made the fauchard blade resemble that of a sickle or a scythe.
