The strong inward curve on this Greek Sword Falcata could deliver a blow strong enough to split both a helmet and shield. While some prefer the elegance of a long sword, others know that it is these short sickle-shaped swords that are capable of delivering the deadliest blow. Although mostly associated with Medieval Times, falcata-like swords have been around since the Iron Age. Of course, they wouldn’t have been as display worthy as this gorgeous one. A polished blade with a handsome brass handle makes it a worthy addition to any collection, or it can be used for light sword play.
