Langdebeve (Ox Tongue)
 
     This beautiful medieval war spear has many names: Langue de Boeuf', Langdebeve, Ox-tongue and is very similar to the legendary partisan type of spear. Langdebeve was a very efficient tool, able to chop, cut, and stab. 
 
     The original shape was in use from the XV all the way through the XVIII century. You can view Ox-Tongue polearms on medieval miniatures and historical drawings that are found in museums and private collections all around Western Europe.
 
     We've made two versions of this toy for full-contact medieval battles and buhurt sport.
The buhurt-sport design has increased chopping ability and a reduced point/tip - stabbing is forbidden in most versions of buhurt sport.
The broad-headed, double-edged spear has a very high hit rate: being in line with the shaft, the blade almost never twists during contact and can be used to hit with both sides.
The Ox-tongue polearm has the incredible ability to break an opponent's shaft - trying to block the strikes of this weapon is a bad idea, and will cause powerful damage to the weapon and wrist if your opponent doesn’t disengage.
The short version has fast attack speed and is fantastic for duels and mass battles.
The long version has more weight and greatly increases the ability to knock-out your foe with one well-placed strike.
It's also fun to use both of them on shorter shafts. It will never be stuck in the opponent's armor after the hit. It’s a tool that shocks and stuns. Even if the opponent is still standing after your hit, he will slow down, squat, and look around seriously confused.
 
     I love this tool, and I’m sure you’re gonna love it, too!
