These are falchions, right?

Is that a falchion next to a "stridslie"? (to the right)

Some people do refer to them as early falchions, but I think most people affectionately know that weapon as a 'maciejowski chopper.' You can see one put to good use in the movie Ironclad.
As far as the giant glaive type weapon, a friend of mine had a reproduction of that made. He says for it's shear size, it surprisingly handles much like a sword. Here's his reproduction 'chopper' and 'glaive' with an Albion Knight in the middle for scale. As fearsome as that weapon appears, I don't think it will cleave mailled knights in twain though, although that would be impressive! :) [ Linked Image ] |

Thats the best looking glaive recreation I have seen. Who made that? Nice Albion knight too, I love that sword although I don't own it, I have the Vigil which is my favorite knightly sword. |

Christopher, That glaive reproduction was a custom piece by Arms and Armor. I'm trying to direct the owner of that piece to this thread so he can give some more details on it's handling and performance. |
