Artist Vladimir Semenov. ![]() The axe, which used the princes, and princely combatants, and militiamen, both foot and horse, was the very extended chopping weapon in the Old-Russian troops. However, there was a difference: however, foot more frequently used large axes, horse - "toporkami", i.e., by short axes. Both in those and in others axe was slipped over wooden axe-handle with the metallic tip. The rear flat part of the axe was called butt-end, and toporka - by pickax. The blades of axes were trapeziform form. Axes themselves were divided into the poleaxe- dies and the axes -bulavy. Large wide axe was called "poleaxe". However, its blade - "piece of iron" - was long and was slipped over the long axe-handle, which at the lower end had an iron binding, or an inflow. Poleaxes were used only by infantrymen. In THE XVI century the poleaxes widely adapted in the streletskom troops. In the beginning of the XVII century in the Russian troops (initially - among the environment Of lzhedmitriya) appeared the halberds - modified axes of various forms, which are finished by spear. Blade was slipped over the long pole (or axe-handle) and was frequently decorated with gilding or coinage. The variety of the metallic hammer, sharpened from the side of butt-end, was called "die", or "klevets". Die was slipped over axe-handle with the tip. There were dies with the unscrewed, concealed dagger. Die served not only as the weapon: it was the distinctive belonging of military authorities. A. Yurasovskiy |
