Although its prevalence in Medieval art testifies to it's popularity, very few original
falchions still exist. This classic falchion, circa 1250-1350, was favored by a great many
knights and men at arms. The wide cutting blade was quite effective against maille and padded
armor (in the early and mid 1300's, maille armor was in transition to plate, but only the very
wealthy could afford it). Although the falchion was intended primarily to be a cutting weapon,
the development of the point was not ignored. This example has a very strong point and
sharpened false edge that would penetrate maille. The blade is tempered high carbon steel, the
fittings are steel, and the grip is wood covered with leather. Comes complete with a leather
scabbard with steel fittings. A well-designed fighting weapon, made by Windlass Steelcrafts
