The Maker
Del Tin
With over 50 years of experience Del Tin of Italy is one of the great stalwarts of the sword enthusiast community and their replicas have a deserved reputation for excellent and reliable tempering, durable construction, and historical proportions and dimensions. Kult of Athena has been selling Del Tin swords for years and we hear about very few problems about them from customers who have purchased them -–a testament to the reliability of their product line. The blades are crafted from their own Chrome-Vanadium alloy steel and tempered to 50 HRc.
Del tin is led by Fulvio Del Tin who continues the business which was started by his father Silvano. Originally knifemakers in Maniago, Silvano and his brother made historical replicas as a hobby until they showcased their works in an exhibit in Florence. Widespread acclaim of their work led them to transforming the focus of their business entirely towards historical swords and daggers. Del Tin’s accessibility to original museum replicas in Italy allows them to make recreations of original swords in fine detail and their collection has many historical pieces which are not available anywhere else.

I actually bought this falchion years ago and forgot to leave a review. It has been hanging on my wall in a custom-made scabbard as decoration, despite being sharpened. I’m embarrassed to say that I have not cut anything with it yet, so I can’t comment on it’s usefulness. It seems sharp though. The sword itself is extremely sturdy and well-made. However, it is very heavy compared to other falchions, almost double in weight. Part of that is the Conyers style, but it’s mostly the blade being much wider than necessary. Despite appearance, the falchion is meant for slashing. With the weight and heft of the blade, this one seems to fall within chopping territory. Not sure if that’s intentional by Del Tin or not. Regardless, the sword is still a solid replica and the custom scabbard I requested KOA make came out great. After several years, the blade has not rusted any, and the pommel/guard only slightly.
Much like what Brain said in the other review, this sword is very heavy. I dont hate it, but its not as light as it should be. In fact, I ordered a different kind of falchion from Deltin directly after receiving this one.
It feels very well built, and at such a cheap price, this sword is going to experience a lot of abuse by me. If i chip or roll the edge, oh well, it can be fixed and therefore some weight will be removed. So a win win.
