In England the carrying of weapons was very strictly regulated and controlled by law. Peasants were not permitted to own or carry swords or other edged weapons, except those freemen earning above a certain amount per annum who were required to provide occasional military service, acting as a kind of local militia - their usual weapon was a spear.
It follows that farming tools of various kinds could legally be used for self-defence, or wooden staves known as "quarter-staffs" which had no blade attached. Every man carried a knife for general utility use and for eating, which again did not count as a weapon.
