Cold Steel MAA English Bill – 89″ Battle-Ready Polearm

Description:

This is a weapon with humble roots and a fearsome reputation. Like many historical battlefield weapons, the English Bill — or “Bill Hook” — owes its origins to agriculture. It was a simple forestry tool, used by peasants to hook creeping vines, clear foliage, and even lop heavy limbs from trees. It didn’t take much imagination to see the fighting applications of this heavy-duty implement. As it saw more use in combat, the bill evolved into a dedicated fighter — fast, agile, and ferocious. A good bill in the right hands could hook, entangle, thrust, stab, slice, and chop with equal ease, and oppose even heavily armed and mounted opponents. An armed force wielding row after row of these weapons was a fearsome sight to behold. Cold Steel’s English Bill represents the highest quality battlefield evolution of this formidable tool. It features a fully sharpened battle-ready blade, spike, and hook, supported by an extra deep steel socket and a stout American ash wood shaft — the same heavy-duty shaft used on Cold Steel’s Boar Spear. The head is secured with pre-drilled mounting holes, offering a solid, reliable connection. For those who appreciate historical weaponry, this is a piece of living history — a weapon that transformed a peasant’s tool into a warrior’s companion.
