I mean look at it, you can see its got blades on both ends. When I think of a polearm that has a blade, I think of a spear, a lance, a javelin, a glaive, a halberd, etc. Never does the word "staff" come to mind; so why call it that? I just feel that calling it something like the "arc lance" or even "war bolt" would sound better.

The term is generally accepted to refer to a shaft of hardwood from 6 to 9 feet (1.8 to 2.7 m) long, [b]sometimes with a metal tip, ferrule, or spike at one or both ends[/b]. The term "short staff" compares this to the "long staff" based on the pike with a length in excess of 11 to 12 feet [/quote] Bold added for emphasis.
