A pole with a large, heavy blade on one end. "To know the perfect length of your ſhort ſtaffe, or half Pike, Forreſt bil, Partiſan, or Gleue, or ſuch like weapons of vantage and perfect lenghts, you ſhall ſtand vpright, holding the ſtaffe vpright cloſe by your body, with your left hãd, reaching with your right hand your ſtaffe as high as you can, and then allow to that length a ſpace to ſet both your hands, when you come to fight, wherein you may conueniently ſtrike, thrust and ward, & that is the iuſt length according to you ſtature. And this note, that theſe lengths will commonly fall out to be eight or nine foor long, and will fit, although not iuſt, the ſtatures of all men, without any hindrance at all vnto them in their fight, becauſe in any weapon wherin the hands may be remoued, and at libertie, to make the weapon lõger or ſhorter in fight at his pleaſure, a foot of the ſtaffe behind the backmost hand doth no harme." -George Silver, _Paradoxes of Defence_, 1599

This weapon falls into the 'Polearms' category. It is a two handed weapon.

The glaive is the largest of the common polearms, but also one of the worst. With only 15 base damage for 180% delay, it is markedly inferior to a battleaxe or great mace. Rather than use a glaive, it is usually better to stick with a trident until you find a demon trident or perhaps a bardiche.
