Pick

A pick, also known as a pickax or pickaxe was a hand tool for digging and breaking up hard or rocky ground.

Description
Picks ranged in size from about long with a perpendicularly mounted striking head. Their head were a sharp spike on one side and the other side could either be a chisel, hammer, or another spike. Their spikes were typically curved slightly toward the haft. Primitive picks were known to have only a single spike. Their shafts were usually made of stout wood, but were also seen crafted from metal or bone.

As with most tools, the pick was adapted for war and often combined with a hammer head on the back. The heavy spike could pierce plate mail, often too well, becoming stuck in the target.

Picks intended for use as weapons are:
 * Light picks
 * Heavy picks
