Balaur Arms Reverse Blade Falchion | Kult of Athena Reveal

Order this blade here: https://www.kultofathena.com/product/... Perhaps the most vicious and “angriest” form of the medieval sword, the so-called Reverse Blade Falchion delivers grievously powerful cuts and thrusts in close-quarters melee with its wide and thin cleaver blade and talon-like tip. As unorthodox as it this form of the medieval sword may be, there are a few surviving museum examples and depictions in illuminated manuscripts. Unlike most falchions, these examples are made with the blade spine and edge reversed, with the cutting edge being along the concave curve of the blade. A closer look at the originals reveals that these swords would have been ferocious “limb-deleting” swords on the field and thankfully our modern examples are relegated to cutting tatami and bottles instead!
