English translation:crow beak
Explanation:
How about crow beak? Seems to fit the shape of the weapon. and a crow's beak is a pretty vicious instrument, see web reference. As a former World of Warcraft (yes, outing myself) player, I can say that a weapon with such a name would sure have an appeal.

agree  Ulrike Kraemer: Gefällt mir. Vielleicht sogar "raven's beak", um beim Bild des Raben zu bleiben.
