Why does it need to be a spear though? Poleaxes are a thing, you know. And 2H axes with small heads too.

Of course, there's the fact that trying to shorten the hilt to make a Poleaxe or similar into a 1H axe, would be a terrible idea, since you would be trying to wield an axe designed in form to be wielded in 1 Hand, yet it weights almost twice what a 1H axe would because it's also a poleaxe or similar.

It's no use wielding a weapon that is too heavy for it's purpose.
