Falchion

A falchion (/ˈfɔːltʃən/; Old French: fauchon; Latin: falx, “sickle”) is a one-handed, single-edged sword of European origin, whose design is reminiscent of the Chinese dadao, and modern machete. Falchions are found in different forms from around the 13th century up to and including the 16th century. In some versions the falchion looks rather like the seax and later the sabre, and in other versions the form is irregular or like a machete with a crossguard.

  I based this piece on the top example,with an octagonal pommel and hexagonal grip profile,finished with bronze fittings,the blade is around 20” in length,forged and tempered 70CR1 steel.
