The Lucerne hammer is a type of polearm which was popular in Switzerland during the 15th to 17th centuries. It was a combination of the bec de corbin with the blunt war hammer.The name comes from a discovery of many of these weapons in Lucerne Switzerland. The ‘hammer’ was actually a three- to four-pronged head mounted atop a 2m-long (7 foot) polearm stick. It bore a long spike on its reverse and an even longer spike extending from the very top.
