Falchion - Bracamarte "Cantigas" 13th century

The Falchion, also known as the Bracamarte "Cantigas" 13th century, is a weapon depicted in several illuminations of the Cantigas of Alfonso X the Wise. This weapon was used in a civilian setting as a more forceful form of defense than the dagger. In the vignette that serves as inspiration for this Falchion, the contenders use the cape rolled up in their hand as a defense, one of the first and earliest representations of the use of the cape as protection.

This Falchion is made of steel with rounded edges and a wooden handle with brass rivets. It also comes with a leather sheath included as a gift. Its total length is 64.5 cm and the blade is 50 cm. It is recommended not to store the blade inside the sheath for long periods of time because leather is a hygroscopic material and can transmit moisture to the metal and oxidize it over time.

It is important to note that carbon steel is not treated so it may have rust, which is easily removed. To protect this item from rust, synthetic or mineral oil can be used. Also, it is important to note that this product is a historical reproduction that is designed following its aesthetic appearance and materials, but not always to fulfill the same functions as the original piece.

In short, the Falchion "Cantigas" S. XIII is a work of art that reinterprets history. It is a piece that not only serves a purpose as a weapon, but is also a sample of the art and culture of the time. If you are a lover of history and weapons, the Falchion "Cantigas" S. XIII is a perfect choice for you.
