10 points if you wear it during the famine and civil strife that follows.
I can outfit the whole family.

Love those photos!
I have long been a fan of swords and ancient/medieval weapons in general. I have a very small collection too.
I’ve been tempted to buy a Falchion on eBay that is absolutely beautiful. I realize that it is probably crap and has a very good chance of arriving looking completely different than advertised - so I just look.
I’ve thought about one of Albion’s Falchion but it’s just out of my price range so my crappy Windlass from MR will have to do……

You had me at “Falchion.”
The must-have ‘boog accessory.

So that’s the one I have!
It looks good but it won’t be the first sword I grab when I doff my Hawaiian shirt!
This is the Pakistani falchion I’ve been admiring. If only it came from a more reputable source….

Falchions differ from traditional long swords how? They look awesome
They tended to be a heavier blade optimized for cutting instead of thrusting. Some (like the two shown) have a point that can be used for thrusting. Others are very similar to a machete. They were more useful against lightly armored opponents and were common among the Sergeant Infantry although not uncommon for knights to be armed with either.
While curved it is thought to be of European origin instead of an adaptation of the Asian scimitar.

If you're going Falchion, go reverse Falchion.
