Falcata with horse head handle

This horse-head-handled falcata is an object of great historical and cultural value that will undoubtedly become the highlight of any collection. As mentioned above, this sword is a detailed replica of a falcata from the 4th or 3rd century BC, making it an authentic piece faithful to its period.

The falcata is a highly curved sword characterized by its pointed blade and horse-head-shaped handle. The handle design, with bone scales securely fastened with brass rivets, makes the falcata easy and comfortable to hold and wield. The horse head is also a very striking and decorative detail that adds a touch of elegance to the sword.

The blade of the falcata is made of EN45 spring steel, a type of steel that is characterized by its durability and strength. In addition, the blade is lavishly decorated with several grooves that give it a more authentic appearance. The small knife with bone handle is a perfect complement to the falcata and is stored in the wooden sheath with genuine leather cover and brass fittings.

The total weight of the falcata, including the small knife and sheath, is about 1460 g. The total length of the blade is 59 cm, with a blade length of 47 cm and a blade thickness of about 4.5 mm (with a cutting edge of about 1 mm). The length of the handle is about 12 cm (with a hilt of about 8 cm), and the width of the blade is about 6 cm.

Since the falcata is a valuable and authentic item, it is important to note that it is not recommended for use in combat shows. It is rather a decorative or collectible item, ideal for adorning a glass shelf or a history museum.

It should be noted that both the bone handle and the steel blade are natural products, so there may be slight variations in their appearance from one sample to another. In addition, it is possible that the steel used shows some traces of corrosion. Therefore, it is important to maintain the falcata blade regularly using a universal steel oil such as Ballistol to preserve steel products.

In short, this horse-head-handled falcata is a fascinating and unique piece that is sure to be the center of attention in any collection. With its authentic design and meticulous attention to detail, this ancient sword is sure to impress any fan of history and archaeology.
