I was going to say the same. Save it for your next sword. You will need it sooner than you think.

Yes, It would make a good pole axe or a good longsword.  My recommendation is that you save it for later.  Right now, you need to learn the basics -- stick with sword & board until you're really comfortable with that.  Then it will be much easier to branch out into other weapons.
