1873 W. K. Sullivan O'Curry's Anc. Irish I. Introd. 459 In the fourteenth century the war hammer was in general use... The foot soldiers had it fixed on a long pole, whence the name Pole-hammer.

1978 Shakespeare Q. 29 410/2 The warrior's pole-hammer is a huge pickaxe, so heavy that he must hold it high to keep his balance as he mounts.

1995 J. L. Singman & W. McLean Daily Life Chaucer's Eng. vii. 156 This type of axe was closely related to the pole-hammer, which bore a hammer head backed by a spike or fluke.
