			::And deadly they are too. As a medieval re-enactor we've made some of them: a replica of a medieval sickle, a flail, a pitchfork, and on the list to make is a scythe (medieval style had straighter handles - already have a modern one and I'm very tempted to use it with fancy dress one day). Got me thinking now about adding a spade to the to-make list. we also have a rake, though think you'd be hard pressed to use it as a weapon as it's so toothless. Best of all, though, in my opinion is the quarterstaff: known in it's time as the King of Weapons, a good quarterstaff fighter could take on at least three fighters armed with sword and dagger. Not bad for a simple, long stick. I found one site that suggested it had evolved, over time, into the policemans baton, and baton-twirling skills. --[[User:GallifreyanWitch\|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch\|talk]]) 11:04, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
