Now Viewing: glaive


Tag type: General

A glaive is a European polearm weapon, consisting of a single-edged blade on the end of a pole. It is similar to the Japanese naginata and the Chinese guan dao.

The term "glaive" has also been repurposed in certain (primarily Western) fantasy series to describe an oversized throwing weapon resembling a shuriken, chakram or throwing_knife. Do not tag these examples as glaive; use the appropriate tags instead.

** Her Silence Glaive is technically a glaive-fork, but we currently don't distinguish. [tn]And we probably shouldn't.[/tn]


h4. Tag usage notes
* Tag glaive when you see the polearm weapon described above.
* Avoid tagging glaive when the weapon can be more appropriately described with another polearm tag.
** e.g. naginata, nagimaki, guan_dao, scythe, halberd
* Do not tag throwing weapons with glaive.
** Even if they are called "glaive" in the series. Use the appropriate throwing weapon tag instead.
** Unless some crazy person decides to use actual polearm glaives as 'throwing weapons'.
