Though I love weapons like the Schaivona and Assegai;
these were later weapons...more seen in the renaissance...

Along the lines of the dark ages - I would have to say weapons like the Genoan or Austrian war picks,
or the basket hilted Katzbalger...

So, anyone out there got their own favorite...?

A battle axe is an axe specifically designed as a weapon. Battle axes are essentially specialized versions of utility axes. Many are suitable for use in one hand, while others are larger and were wielded two-handed. Axes designed for war range in weight from just over 1lb to 6lbs, and in length from just over a foot to upwards of five feet.

A tsurugi, or a saber of european origin. Love those things.

Crossbows and Arbalests. I got a thing for those, that I made for myself a handmade, kinda-crude crossbow in high school. When I brought it to school, everyone's rather pessimistic of its power, but when I shot a chopstick as the bolt and it bounces back to my position, they say "Better stack that thing before someone gets REALLY hurt!"
