The Weapon Nobody Could Decide On

A halberd is what happens when a committee designs a weapon. You want the reach of a spear and the mass of an axe, so you bolt one to the other and accept that the result is heavy, slow and awkward to carry indoors — and then it dominates European battlefields for two centuries anyway, because reach plus mass beats elegance. The two most famous polearms in fiction come from the other side of the world entirely: a fourteenth-century novel handed one general a crescent-bladed glaive and his rival a twin-winged ji, and six hundred years later people still argue about which they'd rather carry.

Where to Start

The two from the Three Kingdoms Armory are the pair that argument is about — the most recognisable polearm silhouettes in Asia, and neither of them subtle. The Lands Between Armory brings the ceremonial reading: gold, length and real weight behind the head. And the Courage & Wisdom Blade Vault supplies the opposite — issue equipment, the halberd a guard gets handed rather than the one a legend carries.

Shot by Us

Every piece here is die-cast zinc alloy, poured solid and hand-finished, with every edge and point cast blunt — display collectibles, recommended for ages 14+. Halberds are the most demanding thing we shoot: all the detail is packed into the head, and the rest is a long plain shaft that has to stay dead straight in frame. Every photo on this page is ours, shot in our own studio, of the exact piece we ship. No CGI, no renders, no supplier images.

Keep Exploring

This shelf is where two other shelves meet. The spear case holds everything that kept the reach and gave up the chopping, and the axe wall holds everything that kept the chopping and gave up the reach. Between them, that's most of the polearm story.

FAQ: Metal Halberd Replicas

The stuff collectors actually ask us.

What are these replicas made of?

Solid die-cast zinc alloy, one pour per piece, hand-finished, with every edge and point cast blunt. Real metal weight — 30–150 g (1.1–5.3 oz) across the rack. Nearly all of that metal sits in the last few centimetres: on a halberd the shaft is doing nothing but holding the head up. The exact grams for each piece live on its product page.

Are the blades sharp?

No — every edge and point is cast blunt straight from the mold. These are solid die-cast display collectibles, not functional weapons, recommended for ages 14+.

What sizes and prices are in this collection?

Pieces run 21.5–30 cm (8.5–11.8 in) — the tightest length band of any class we keep, because a polearm that isn't long isn't a polearm. Prices are $19.99 to $29.99 depending on length, with display stands adding $2 to $4.

What's the difference between a halberd, a glaive and a spear?

A spear is a point on a stick; it only stabs. A glaive is one long curved blade on a stick, so it cuts as well as thrusts. A halberd is a spear point with an axe head beside it and usually a hook on the back — three weapons sharing one pole. This shelf has all three, plus a ji: the Chinese answer, which puts crescent wings on either side of the point. If you only want one piece, the halberd heads have the most going on to look at.

Is this an officially licensed collection?

No — and we say so on our own page. These are unofficial fan-art collectibles from a two-person studio, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any game, anime, or film company. There's no official packaging or certificate, because there isn't one to give you.

How long is shipping, and how can I pay?

Free worldwide tracked shipping; most orders land in 10–14 days wherever they're headed. Payment options are shown at checkout. Every order carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.
