	Falchion
		A falchion is a fairly short, one edged sword of European origin.
		Falchions are found in different forms from around the 11th century up to and including the 16th century.
		In some varsions the falchion looks rather like the scramasax and later the sabre, and in some versions the form is irregular or machete like.

	Falchion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A falchion (pronounced fal-shun) is a medieval one-handed, single-edged sword of European origin.
		In some versions the falchion looks rather like the scramasax and later the sabre, and in some versions the form is irregular or (as is the case in the picture to the right) like a machete with a crossguard.
		While one of the few surviving falchions is shaped very much like a large meat cleaver, or large bladed machete (the Conyers falchion), the majority of the depictions in art reflect a design similar to that of the großes Messer.

	The Armory
		The falchion was not a thrusting weapon like the estoc or longsword, though some did have sharp points should the need arise, but rather a hacking or slashing weapon employed in a style very similar to a modern machete.
		The falchion had a broad, single-edged blade, was very thick along the spine of the weapon (the part of the blade opposite the edge), and sharpened on the convex side of the blade itself.
		The European falchion is a direct descendant in form and in function of both the khopesh and the kopis.

		On the outward-facing side (assuming the falchion is held in the right hand), there's a fl eagle with spread wings, while on the other side the three lions of England are found.

		When Falchion was founded in 2002 there were three guys who came up with the band idea and we had a synth player also.
		But when he left the band in fall of 2003 we decided to continue without a keyboard player, and I have always written songs which were not to be played with keyboards.
		In Falchion I'm trying to make harder songs to play and in Korpiklaani they are easier to play, I think.

	myArmoury.com - Del Tin Falchion sword
		My Falchion is a heavy one and I have heard it said that that is actually a good thing with these swords as the were used more like a Machette than a regular sword.
		This isn't to say that falchions are not supposed to balance further towards the blade tip, but I'd wager the difference in average balance point is only like 5-10% closer to the tip than other swords.
		Some falchions may have been heavier or have more blade presence but everything being equal the edge geometric was probably the main reason that these are efficient cutters.

		In addition to the ships in one of the blister packs there are 3 little metal sprues that each have 2 small panels on these.

		The falchion is similar to the German Dusack (or Dusagge), and has been dubiously suggested as possibly related to the Dark Age long knife, "seax" (scramanseax), and even later curved blades such as sabres (or sabels).
		A later Italian falchion with a slender sabre-like blade was called a "storta" or a "malchus".
		There is also the Medieval falchion and the German curved Messer, Grossmessr, and bohemian Dusask The Italians used the curved storta, the straight bladed but curved-edge braquemart and the curved badelair (baudelair, bazelair, or basilaire) as well as the short curved braquet.

		So to wrap up the Falchion is a gorgeous weapon that I WOULD choose if I had some Fire Burst or something where criticals gave me a fancy effect or something only.
		BUT ALL THAT ADDS is an additional.41 damage on average for a Falchion against a roll of 11 vs. additional.275 for a Greataxe.

		The Medival European Falchions were straight which was tapered close to the hilt and flared edge toward the point.
		It's about 24" in length (not including the tang), and the blade is straight except for the last four inches or so, where it curves to form a cutting tip.

		Although the double-edged sword gets most of the press, the single-edged falchion was favored by a great many knights and men at arms.
		The wide cutting blade was quite effective against mail (although armor was being improved by plate additions, only the very wealthy could afford it).
		Although the falchion was intended primarily to be a cutting weapon, the development of the point was not ignored.

	Power Attack and Falchion - Wizards Community
		Critical threat, doesn't mean critical hit: I can threat a critical on a roll of 15-20, but the threat has to be confirmed before dealing damage and the chance of confirming a critical is the same for a figther with a falchion and for one with a greatsword (assuming equal attack bonus).
		Of the two the one who gets more from a critical hit is the one with the greatsword (a falchion's critical is an average damage = 8+modifiers, a greatsword's is = 12+modifiers).
		This means that weapons with high crit threats, like rapier and falchion, are better choices than longsword or greatsword in the hands of a massive str character.

		One of the best things about this debut Falchion album aside from the thundering and plodding and almost Battle-like melodies, are the guitar solos that Juho and Jani came up with.
		Falchion's vocalist Juho Kauppinen sings in mid temp and mid ranged Black Metal style and has a slightly Folky delivery to the pronunciation of certain words.
