Complete Lucerne Hammer

The Lucerne hammer, also known as the bec de corbin or bec de faucon, is a versatile pole weapon that emerged in the mid-14th century. Its use extended until the 16th century, marking a significant evolution in late medieval weaponry. This formidable weapon combined three essential elements:

• The "beak" or spike: Designed to pierce armor, particularly effective against metal plates.
• The "mail" or hammer: Used to crush and deform the opponent's defenses.
• The "dagger" or top spike: Ideal for exploiting weaknesses in armor, such as joints or the visor.

Our faithful reproduction in high-density rubber captures the essence of this historical weapon while providing the necessary safety for modern and intensive training. The rubber head allows for realistic impact simulation without the risk of serious injury, making this tool ideal for the study and practice of medieval combat techniques.

The shaft, a crucial element of the weapon, is custom-made from French ash. At a length of 180 cm, it offers the historically accurate reach of a Lucerne hammer while ensuring robustness and maneuverability. Its square section ensures a firm grip and prevents undesirable rotation of the weapon during use.

To enhance comfort and security, the edges of the shaft have been carefully planed, creating an ergonomic octagonal shape. Ash, traditionally used for tool handles, combines lightness and shock resistance, making this Lucerne hammer a durable and high-performing training tool.

The heel is now complemented by a rubber spear point called Corbeau, featuring a hollow design that retracts upon impact.

This system effectively absorbs shock from 7 kg of pressure and enhances the security of the weapon.

Additionally, it fits perfectly on square wooden shafts, serving both as a spear point and as the heel of a poleaxe — one accessory for two uses.
