Overview
Age of Craft - Falchion from the River Thorpe
This Falchion is purpose-built for hard hitting HMB sport combat and Buhurt and made to exceptionally tough, resilient and robust. Its thick edged blade has a thickness of at least 3 mm with a rounded tip and is altogether well-tempered. The blade has a thick tang and the guard and pommel are welded directly to the tang for a lasting construction that greatly resists shifting or loosening.
Please Note: This is a utilitarian sport fighting sword and it is common for them to have some cosmetic blemishes present. These are not polished perfectly from the manufacturer as they are expected to be a hard-used sport fighting and training tool

Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is this falchion designed for? Common Question
This is a purpose-built HMB (Historical Medieval Battle) and Buhurt sport combat weapon, built to take repeated hard, full-force hits in armored sparring and tournament bouts. Its thick, rounded-tip blade and reinforced tang are engineered for durability under that kind of contact rather than for cutting or display.
Q Is the edge sharp? Common Question
No. The edge is blunt and rebated, as is required for armored sport combat weapons, so there is no cutting edge to maintain or sharpen.
Q How is the blade made, and how tough is it? Common Question
The blade is forged from G65 spring steel, a tough, shock-resistant alloy chosen for weapons that need to absorb repeated heavy impacts. It carries a thick cross-section, tapering from roughly 53.4 mm at its widest to 39.2 mm, with an edge thickness of about 3.8-4 mm, giving it the mass and resilience a falchion needs for hard sparring.
Q How are the guard and pommel attached? Common Question
The guard and pommel are welded directly onto a thick full tang rather than fitted with pins or threaded fasteners. This construction is built to resist loosening or shifting even after sustained heavy contact in the arena.
Q What does the grip look like and how long is it? Common Question
The grip measures 5 inches and is wrapped in a black material with visible wrap lines, giving a secure, textured hold suited to two-handed or one-and-a-half-handed use in combat. The crossguard on this style features trefoil-shaped quillon tips, and the pommel is a rounded cap finished in steel.
Q How does the weight and balance feel in the hand? Common Question
At 3 lbs 4 oz with a point of balance 6 inches from the guard, this falchion carries its mass out toward the blade. That forward balance suits the falchion's cleaver-like, single-edged profile and is built to deliver powerful chopping strikes in sport combat rather than quick, light handling.
Q Where is this sword made? Common Question
This falchion is made in Ukraine by Age of Craft, a maker known for building weapons specifically for the demands of HMB and Buhurt competition.
Q How should I maintain this blade? Common Question
Wipe the blade down after use to remove sweat and moisture, then apply a light coat of oil to the G65 spring steel to prevent rust. Store it somewhere dry; since this is a bare blade without a scabbard, there's no sheath to worry about trapping moisture against the steel.
Q Will the finish be flawless out of the box? Common Question
This is a working sport combat tool, not a display piece, so it ships well-tempered and ready for hard use rather than mirror-polished. Expect some surface blemishes consistent with a weapon built to be used and hit repeatedly in competition.
