What's on your mind?

The blade for your "ṭamūrḵ" reminds me of some sword designs used Muslims during the Crusades. However, you need some means to fasten the blade TOO your pole. Either the blunt end opens up into a cylinder hole for one end of the pole to be inserted and fastened, or you fasten it to a pole by heavy metal bands.

Obviously not a thrown weapon, you have two pole length choices. A long pole would allow it to be used to keep enemies at bay, however it is less wieldy. A shorter pole lets enemies get closer, but the user has more control of the weapon and lets you use it in more confined areas.

You may want something on the other end of the pole, like a heavy blunt weight.... even only for decoration.

I keep getting opposing opinions about the plausability.
On another forum, it was discussed that the inner cutting edge would be more effective for cutting and catching opponents, while the outer edge would easily break, due to the fact that the point of inflection would bear most of the force. It would especially be useful for cagalry, but I want for infantry and close combat.

Yes, the bottom end opens into a cylinder. Heavy weight on the back I don't think is a good idea, unless used as a counterweight to the likely heavy blade head. As for the length. I decided the pole would reach to the shoulders, while the head would reach the top of the head, thus, shaft is maybe 140-180cm and head 45-60cm.
