A Pole-Arm technically refers to any type of weapon consisting of a metal head with a long wooden pole. Spears technically fall under this classification, but more often than not it is used to refer to weapons with something more than just a point intended for poking at the end and can also be used to chop and hack. These include axe heads, spikes and sword blades.
