The
falchion was a weapon used in battle more than most people
realize. Considered a heavy, single edged weapon designed for
heavy chopping, it has an ancient history that stretches back
to the Bronze Age. During the Renaissance its form became a
little more elaborate, but its functionality remained the same.
This was a heavy battle sword designed to oppose the combinations
of plate and mail that were popular. The blade could shear
mail with ease, and dent or crush lighter weight plate. We
have copied a sword in the Florence Museum dating from about
the first quarter of the 16th century. The blade is high carbon
steel. The guard and the pommel are steel, while the grip is
polished hardwood. The scabbard mounts are also steel. A beautiful
and impressive sword. Made by Windlass
Steelcrafts®.
