Archers, and especially the longbowmen, usually fought from behind some kind of barrier. Most often wood shafts driven into the ground and then sharpened to a point. No matter what the make-shift defenses might be, there often came a point in the battle when the archer's position was overrun and the bow became useless. In this brutal close fighting the archer needed something short for in-fighting. Most preferred a Archer's Falchion style sword that was shorter than most Medieval swords and able to deliver deadly blows and thrusts. (Many also carried a small axe, or in many cases a full size battle axe or long shafted war hammer and sometimes a small fist size buckler as well.) This nicely balanced sword has a steel pommel and guard with a wood and leather grip. Well-tempered high carbon steel blade. Comes with leather and steel scabbard.
