Falchions

From the 13th to 16th centuries, the falchion was a notable weapon in medieval Europe. This single-edged sword, with its distinctive curve towards the tip, combined the slicing power of an axe with the versatility of a sword. Its design, reminiscent of a machete or cutlass, made it a practical and effective weapon for both soldiers and commoners. The falchion’s simple yet robust construction ensured its widespread use and enduring legacy.
