The Monk's Spade, or chan zhang, is a polearm with heavy implements on either end of it. One side looks like a spade head, the other a crescent moon; one can still see less lethal version of this weapon in Chinese theatre.

Rulings
From the QCT
Free Attacks
Sir Francis Drake's ability doesn't specifically say that you get a free weapon attack, so you're still under the restriction of one swing a turn with your weapons. The same thing goes with Chan Zhang and other cards that grant free non-specific attacks.
So, is this correct? Is Sir Francis still limited to one weapon attack per turn? Or can his action ability override the usual "once per turn" rule?
•From the Rulebook, page 18:
•'If a Card Ability specifically creates an Attack with a Weapon, this Attack does not count against the “one Attack with a Weapon each turn” restriction.'
•Therefore, if a free attack ability does not specify that it is a weapon attack, and you use that ability to make a weapon attack, it does count as your one weapon attack for that turn.
