Pitchfork

The pitchfork is often seen on farms, where it is commonly used for bailing hay and other tasks. It can be pressed into service as a makeshift weapon by a desperate fighter, and is favourite amongst poor peasants if they are forced to use violence. Its design requires the use of two hands for effective use.
