The Pitchfork: the weapon of Village defenders

I think that when your popularity in a Village gets above a certain point, the Villagers should give you a Pitchfork to defend the Village with, that only works in the Village so you don't just get a free weapon, and only on monsters so that you don't hurt the Villagers or the Iron Golem with it. Or, they can give it to you after defeating a raid and be able to use it outside the Village. The Pitchfork should work kind of like a Trident in the way that you can throw it or use it as a melee weapon.
