Hand-Forged Medieval Falchion Sword – Full-Tang 5160 Blade with Wheel Pommel

A falchion is a medieval European single-edged sword with a broad, curved blade that widens toward the tip, built for powerful cutting and chopping. It combines the cutting weight of an axe with the reach and handling of a sword, and it was a common side-arm from the 13th to the 16th century. This one is a modern, hand-forged interpretation in 5160 spring steel.

Yes. This is a real, fully functional falchion, not a cast display piece. It is hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, full tang, oil-tempered, and sharpened to a true cutting edge before it ships. It is built to be handled and cut with, and finished cleanly enough to display as a centrepiece.

The blade is forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, the same alloy used in heavy-duty truck leaf springs, prized for toughness and edge retention. It is oil-tempered for a hard cutting edge backed by a flexible, shock-absorbent spine.

Yes. The tang runs the full length of the handle and is peened over the wheel pommel, so there is no rat-tail or glued-in tang to fail. Full-tang construction is what makes the sword strong enough to handle and cut with rather than just display.

The falchion is a cutter. Its broad, forward-weighted blade makes it excellent for chopping and slicing cuts, which is why cutting and test-cutting practitioners like it, and why collectors value it as a distinctive medieval sword. As a hand-forged 5160 blade, it is built to actually perform, not just hang on a wall.

Yes. The standard blade is 24 inches, and you can order it shorter or longer to your spec. You can also choose the blade finish, the edge, and add engraving. Every sword is forged to the spec you select, so the size is yours to set.

The falchion has a straight steel crossguard and a classic medieval wheel pommel, fitted to a black handle. The steel furniture is shaped and finished by hand, and the wheel pommel helps balance the forward weight of the broad blade.
