Falcata Sword
Item # 526
FALCATA : Specialized Cutting Sword
The hoplite sword appears frequently on Greek vases throughout the Archaic and
Classical period , that is from 800-400 BC, but from about 500 BC a new type of
sword quite unlike the hoplite weapon began to appear. This was the kopis , a
single-edged weapon with a slightly-S-sharped cutting edge. The kopis was a
heavy hacking or chopping weapon and must have been devastating in hand-to-hand combat.
The spanish adopted the kopis, eventually converting it into the short-cut-and-thrust
sword known as the FALCATA. This ancient sword was specifically fashioned to provide
optimum slash for the warrior's efforts. It's interesting designed made it a force to
contend with and fear. This is a true historical replica of the original which is in the
National Archeological Museum in Madrid.
