History: The Bardiche first appeared in Russia around the 15th century, serving as an infantry weapon. It was popular among musketeers and soldiers for its versatility—it could pierce armor, repel attacks, and keep enemies at bay due to its long handle. In battles, it was often used as a support for musket firing or as a ceremonial weapon.
