Overview
Viktor Berbekucz – Talos Falchion - Brown
The Talos Falchion from Viktor Berbekucz of Hungary is a rugged single-edged sword designed for sport combat, reenactment, and stage use. Inspired by the cleaver-like falchions of the medieval period, the sword has the durability required for repeated blade contact. Built with reinforced construction and a resilient spring steel blade, the Talos Falchion is well suited for practitioners who need a dependable sport weapon that reflects the character of historical European falchions.
The blade measures 24 7/16 inches and is forged from CRV4 / 51CrV4 high carbon spring steel, a material widely valued for its toughness and flexibility. The blade is intentionally blunted for safe training, with thick edges approximately 2–3 mm in thickmess and a rounded tip appropriate for reenactment or sport combat. Tempered to roughly 50–54 HRc, the blade is capable of enduring repeated impact while maintaining structural integrity and dependable handling. The falchion’s forward-weighted profile lends itself to landing harder hits whilst remaining maneuverable.
The hilt is constructed for strength and longevity with a steel crossguard paired with a pommel which anchors the blade securely with the tang firmly peened over the pommel to create a solid mechanical assembly. For added reinforcement. The fit between blade and guard is carefully reinforced to reduce movement at this critical stress point. The grip is crafted from beechwood and wrapped in leather provides a comfortable and secure one-handed hold. Despite the sword’s robust build and broad cutting blade, it handles with surprising responsivenes for its type and purpose. The falchion weighs 2 lbs 14 oz with a point of balance approximately 4 3/4 inches from the guard, giving it the forward presence needed for strong cutting blows while remaining manageable during extended use.
Durable, distinctive, and purpose-built for demanding reenactment combat, the Talos Falchion is an excellent choice for historical martial artists, reenactors, and stage fighters seeking a reliable single-edged sword that reflects the powerful cutting design of medieval falchions.

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.
