Whether used in training, combat practice, or as a centerpiece in your collection, this falchion is as formidable as it is historically inspired.

Historical Background

The falchion is a single-edged medieval sword that combines the power of an axe with the reach of a sword. This particular design, known for its hooked or umbrella-style pommel and straight broad blade, was used in the 13th century. It was especially effective against lightly armored opponents and was a favored weapon in close-quarter combat. The wide blade and heavy forward balance made it ideal for cleaving strikes, while the unique pommel provided excellent grip security.

This style of falchion is often associated with crusader-era warriors, and its bold profile reflects the brutal efficiency of medieval warfare. It stands out for both its visual appeal and battlefield functionality.
