A '''fauchard''' [[page type is::definition|consisted]] of a curved blade put atop a 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]]. This was not a very efficient design for the purposes of war, and was eventually modified to have one or more lance points attached to the back or top of the blade. This weapon is called a fauchard-fork.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauchard</ref>
