In addition to spears and halberds, other types of polearms were used in battles, such as glaive with a single-edged blade and a small hook on the pole's ridge; axe with a broad blade resembling a carpenter's hatchet; partisan with a double-edged spike and lateral winglets; and corseca with a three-pronged blade. You can see most of these in the Knight's Hall as well as in the collection of weapons at the Trakošćan Castle.
The military use of polearms was supplanted by the ever-increasing use of firearms, and from the second half of the sixteenth-century polearms were more and more used by honor guards as a ceremonial weapon or as a mark of the military commanders rank. Such weapons are often very richly decorated with etched patterns on the blade, while the shafts are wrapped in sumptuous velour sheats with numerous fringes and tassels.
