The falchion has an ancient history that stretches back to the Bronze Age. During the
Renaissance it's form became a little more elaborate, but it's functionality remained the same
- a heavy battle sword designed to oppose transitional armor (maille reinforced with plate).
The blade could shear maille with ease, and dent or crush lighter weight plate. This falchion
replicates a sword in The Florence Museum dating from the early 1500's. The blade is high
carbon steel, The guard and the pommel are steel, and the grip is polished hardwood. Comes
with a stiff leather scabbard with steel fittings. A beautiful and impressive sword, made by
Windlass Steelcrafts.
