Halberts started out as the English translation of Helmbarten, a short 2d6 based RPG, a kind of Fantasy Traveller.
The key difference between Halberts and Knives is that Halberts has semi-random character creation and no advancement, like Traveller, whereas Knives has "one skill point per in-game year" advancement and more advice about running the game.
