Overview
Viktor Berbekucz – Cyclops Falchion - Brown
The Cyclops Falchion by Viktor Berbekucz is a robust single-edged sword designed for sport combat and hard-hitting historical reenactment. Drawing inspiration from the powerful cleaver-like falchions of the medieval period, the Cyclops emphasizes durability and impact resilience while maintaining responsive handling. Its broad blade profile and reinforced construction make it well suited for practitioners who require a dependable weapon capable of enduring repeated blade contact.
The blade measures 24 3/8 inches in length and is forged from 51CrV4 high carbon spring steel, a material widely respected for its excellent combination of toughness, flexibility, and resistance to fatigue. Designed specifically for training and reenactment environments, the blade features thick rebated edges and a rounded tip to enhance safety during controlled contact. Proper heat treatment allows the blade to flex under stress and return to true, helping the sword withstand the demands of regular sparring and stage combat. The falchion’s broad cutting profile and forward presence echo the historical role of these weapons as powerful cutting tools on the battlefield.
The hilt assembly is built for strength and longevity. A sturdy steel guard protects the hand while providing a secure transition between blade and grip. The full tang runs through the hilt and is firmly peened over the pommel, creating a solid mechanical construction that helps the sword remain tight under repeated use. The 4 3/4 inch grip is sized for comfortable one-handed handling and is shaped to provide a secure purchase during vigorous movement. Despite its wide blade and reinforced construction, the Cyclops Falchion maintains lively handling characteristics. The sword weighs 2 lbs 15 oz with a point of balance approximately 4 3/8 inches from the guard, giving it the forward-weighted presence expected of a falchion while still allowing good maneuverability in the hand. This balance supports authoritative cutting blows while keeping the weapon manageably weighted and balanced well for its size, type and purpose.

The Maker
VB Swordshop
I am Viktor Berbekucz, weaponsmith.
Ever since childhoold, I’ve been drawn in by daggers and swords. Already at 14 years old I’ve been collecting tomes detailing the subject, and around this time I started to take part in medieval reenactments. My first swords have been made for personal use, and then I truly understood what sort of stress a weapon has to endure when I wield them.
To increase their quality, I’ve contacted experts. I can thank much to the help of the Hungarian National Museum’s specialist, Temesváry Ferenc, who expanded my tehoretical knowledge. As well as to Jeges András, restorator and my mentor, who introduced me to the basics of swordsmithing.
At 21 years old, I’ve began working on the idea of my very own workshop. It surprised me that there was a demand for my swords and armours. Since then I’ve been holding the improvement of quality as my most important task. Since my three decades taught me that bladesmithing is never a concluded thing; there is always more to learn. The greatest teacher is the work itself, and the strictest quality inspector is the customer. To me, the greatest acknowledgment is that my clients always return – this gives me certainty that I am on the right path. I honestly believe that my creations help discover the past, and give joy to those who take them in hand.
Story of VB Swordshop and the webshop
More than twenty years ago I’ve become more close-knit with reenactment. As reenactor of the Salamon Historic Club and the Order of Saint George (of the Kingdom of Hungary). During this time I’ve met with many mediveal reenactors, collectors, craftsmen, and craftswomen. Which is how I experienced the needs of the customer side. Parallel to mediveal reenactment, I’ve started smithing. First as a sole proprietor, then with two employees.
Without my wife Andrea, none of this would have become possible. She worked administration, orders, and correspondence with customers. So I could fully focus on the smithing. We’ve been touring Europe’s Renaissance and Medieval fairs, where we presented our products.
The number of orders have continuosuly grown, not just from individuals, but also from the Hungarian Defence Forces. The number of people in the worshop also have risen. The Andrea’s suggestion we’ve switched to a company, and that’s how VB Swordshop came to be, and she created the webshop too.
Our company’s motto: “Tradition, Quality, Guarantee” – which expresses our creed.
