Circa 15th C Falchion

Appearing profusely in period artwork, the falchion must have been a very popular sword during the medieval era, despite the fact that so few exist today. This falchion appears in a 15th century Palliaolo painting of St. Michael slaying a dragon, on display in the Florence Museum. The falchion is often misimagined as a heavy and awkward weapon, only appropriate as standard infantryman’s weapon intended for brutish chopping. Contrary to this belief, historical falchions were well balanced and fast, and were used by a wide spectrum of the medieval social strata. Most surviving examples are highly decorated and were obviously owned by men of wealth.

Introducing the Signature Series by Windlass! Some of our all-time favorites, reissued by Windlass Steelcrafts® with several upgrades! The blade has improved distal taper, making the sword livelier and quicker. The scabbard now has a wooden core underneath the leather exterior. The grip features leather that is dimpled using a historically authentic "wet-wrap" process, during which fine cord is tightly wrapped around a wet leather grip. When it's dry, the cord is removed and the leather is left attractively indented and provides improved texture and grip.
