Product description
No known historical name exists for this unique sword! It appears in the Maciejowski Bible, a Medieval manuscript that depicts Bible stories with Medieval clothing and weapons. This weapon also appears in other manuscripts from the period. Our version can be seen on plate 21 entitled The Rescue of Lot. Weapons like this were usually depicted used by evil or negative characters.
The single-edge blade is broad and flat while the two-handed grip provides a tremendous amount of leverage, generating a large amount of force. Hand forged of high-carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts® with wooden scales on the grip and antiqued copper fittings. This single-edged falchion has been hand-forged of 1075 high carbon steel.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
