Get Yo'self a Falchion!
Hey everybody it's that time for another world famous myArmoury.com giveaway. We enjoy giving away stuff as often as we can to let our community know we appreciate them. Every member is eligible for this contest.
THE PRIZE:
Windlass Steelcrafts Falchion
The falchion is brand-new and has been factory-sharpened. I've cleaned it up and taken down the shiny mirror polish to a subtle satin finish. This gives it a much more authentic look! Here is the manufacturer's description:
"Although its prevalence in Medieval art testifies to its popularity, very few original falchions still exist. This rarity of surviving specimens may be more proof of its popularity; most of the falchions were used up in battle! While the double-edged sword gets most of the press, the single-edged falchion was favored by a great many knights and men at arms. The wide cutting blade was quite effective against mail (although armor was being improved by the addition of plates, only the very wealthy could afford it). Although the falchion was intended primarily to be a cutting weapon, the development of the point was not ignored.
This example has a very strong point that would penetrate mail with the hard thrust or stab. A well-designed fighting weapon made by Windlass Steelcrafts. The blade is tempered high carbon steel, the guard and pommel are both steel and the grip is wood covered with leather. Complete with a leather scabbard."
 
Approximate measurements (taken from the maker):
Overall length: 34"; Blade length: 28"; Blade width: 1.75"; Weight: 3 pounds
