This reproduction of a particularly elaborate and embellished Falcata has a blued blade of tempered C60 high carbon steel (a steel with properties very similar to 1060 high carbon steel) its forward swept recurve blade was purpose designed for powerful, helmet splitting chops and fearsome hacks and cuts. The blade is mounted into the hilt with a full tang construction that has two grip scales of polished bone which are riveted directly to the thick blade tang. The hilt is finished with highly detailed plates and a knuckle bar of antiqued brass.
