There is a painting in The Florence Museum of St. Michael slaying the dragon. In the painting, St. Michael is using a falchion of a style popular in the late 15th and early 16th century. However, his sword has a slight variation from the norm - he appears to be using a double-edged falchion. Although not unknown, this was quite unusual for a falchion blade. The blade is very strong and sturdy, but also light and fast, able to cut with great authority. The double edge also lessened the weight and made possible a variety of blows unattainable with a single-edge or false-edged falchion. The blade of this replica is high carbon steel, with steel guard and pommel. Comes complete with a stiff leather scabbard with steel fittings. This attractive sword is made by Windlass Steelcrafts.
