To answer a few questions - the glaive is much like a very long sword - except that you can get a lot more leverage, since you can slide your hands quite far apart. The total length is something like 7 ft, and it balances right around the lower part of the languets. It is a scary weapon.
The Type XX is reviewed here:

The rondel blades are both around 15 inches.
Patrick - I'll be very interested to see what you come up with for a polearm - esp if it will fit in with your Sture sword and that new dagger!
