The falchion is a single-edged medieval European sword with a broad blade that widens toward the tip, putting the mass forward of the hand.Built to cut, not to fenceWhere the arming sword is balanced for control, the falchion is balanced for the cut. The weight ahead of the grip does the work, which makes it heavier in the hand and far more effective against padded and mailed opponents. It was a common soldier’s weapon rather than a knight’s.Ours are hand-forged from high-carbon or Damascus steel with wood or leather grips.Please check your local law before ordering.
