Alright, so glaives. I mean the polearms, not swords. I've seen glaives with projections for hooking, or for catching weapons. I've seen swords with S-shaped crossguards/quillions. It strikes me that, while a crossguard near the end of a polearm wouldn't be much use in protecting your hands, an S-shaped, crossguard-like projection just below the blade of a glaive could be used for hooking or catching weapons. Was this ever done, historically? So, for example, like this thing, but with a polearm haft instead of a sword handle?
Edit: Nevermind, I found one.
