15th Century Falchion Sword | Hand Forged Medieval Combat Blade

Inspired by the battlefield blades of medieval Europe, the 15th Century Falchion Sword is a powerful fusion of utility and historical design. With its broad, forward-curved blade, this hand-forged weapon mirrors the cutting efficiency of a machete while retaining the presence and craftsmanship of a true medieval sword.

Forged from high-quality 5160 leaf spring steel using traditional Nepali blacksmithing methods, this sword is built to perform. It’s tempered for strength, sharpened for immediate use, and crafted for reliability—ideal for bushcraft, training, outdoor tasks, or historical martial arts.

Historical Background

The falchion was a favored weapon in Europe during the 13th to 15th centuries, particularly by knights and soldiers who needed a powerful, single-edged weapon that was easier to handle than a full broadsword. Its curved shape made it especially effective for powerful chopping blows, even against lightly armored foes.

Historically, the falchion bridged the gap between swords and working tools, and many surviving examples show practical design with minimal ornamentation. This modern interpretation captures that same spirit—functional, durable, and ready for both fieldwork and historical appreciation.
