Falchions were single edged swords with broad blades and were popular from the 13thC across large parts of Europe and of course came in many styles. One very late style from around 1600, was the Italian version called a Storta. Always fancy, always detailed, always ostentatious and always efficiently ’cutty’; it may look like its just for wearing about your palazzo, but it is just as happy in a pub brawl.
I was lucky enough to have Matt Easton from Schola Gladiatoria here and so we chatted Storta.
