Battling Blades
Falcata Sword // Antique Style
Product Description
The Falcata was a popular type of sword in the Iberian Peninsula from the fifth to the first century B.C.E. Closely related in form to slashing weapons found in Greece, it is distinguished by the fact that its blade is double-edged for about half of its length, whereas Greek specimens normally have a single cutting edge.
This style blade has a forward curve and was originally used for cutting meat or animal slaughter. Its use changed over time to a weapon, as did the size. The concave shape of the blade, with the enlarging portion closer to the tip, helped deliver a powerful chop similar to an axe. The handle had an inward curve to shelter the hand during the blows.Â
