"This weapon is for the druid class. specially the Wolf Clan. Their primarily live in the forest and mountain ares. The weapon is a staff of wood with a sickle-sword blade mounted at the top and shod with a metal cap on the opposite end serving as a counter weight to the blade and for blunt strikes. This is in short a Khopesh attached to a short staff somewhat similar to a Glaive, Pu Dao, or Guan Dao. 

The staff is a fire darkened oak wood with circular cross section reaching to about shoulder height maybe about 1.5 inches in diameter and 5.0-5.5 feet long. The wood is inscribed near the top with runes of material strength, movement speed, and reduced weight. Strips of leather are wrapped around the handling points. At the top strips of leather dangle with wolves’ claws and fangs. I don’t know if the blade would be attached in a socket-and-shaft (like an axe head) or with a tang with rivets (like a sword).

The Damascus steel blade is made up of three sections: a short straight un-sharpened section, a longer sickle shaped section sharpened on the inner and outer edges, and a hook like tip also sharpened on both edges. The straight section is about 3-6 inches and the blade is another 1.5-2 feet. The blade is blackened and inscribed with runes of material strength, movement speed, reduced weight, and sharpness on the straight section and with a beveled groove in the flat of the blade, i.e. a Fuller, to lighten the blade and add strength. 

It’s designed to allow for a mixture of staff and sword like fighting elements but lacks the weight to function effectively as an axe. It is primarily used as slashing weapon but the hooked tip allows for some shallow thrusting cuts as well as hooking an opponent's weapon or shield and disarming them.
