The
voulge was a rather primitive weapon which developed directly
from the agricultural pruning-bill, a tool used for trimming
trees. Voulges are characterized by a broad axe-like blade with
a single spike protrusion at the top, usually attached to a
wooden pole on sockets secured with nails. Useful for chopping
and thrusting. The lochaber axe (Hammer of Kai) developed from
the voulge.
