  Flamberge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A flamberge is a sword (typically a rapier, though there were longswords as well) which, although beautiful to look at, doesn't serve any known purpose beyond that.
Also, a Flamberge is a large Zweihänder, a two-handed sword most commonly known from the Landsknechts of the 16th century and it, too, has a wavy blade.
It was forged by the smith Galas, and was one of nine blades shattered by Olivier's sword, Hauteclere.

 2HE Flamberge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The flamberge is a form of the two-handed sword popular in Germany between the 15th and 17th centuries, especially among the Swiss mercenaries, the Landsknecht.
Often, the flamberge was used as a processional or court weapon; an undulating blade was undoubtedly more attractive than a plain blade in these cases.
In any event, the flamberge was still a formidable weapon.

 Medieval Swords and Daggers
When blocking with the flamberge rapier, the blade created a disconcerting vibration in the opposing blade as it passed along the length of the blade with decreasing momentum.
The flamberge rapier should not be confused with the longer Flamberge which is a very large sword requiring two hands to use (see more information within the Great Swords section).
The flamberge is also known as the German "Dopplehander" (both-hander), the English "slaughtersword", or the Italian "lo spadone".

We’ve received many requests for a swept-hilt rapier that can be used with either hand, so we’ve taken a rare, attractive hilt form we ran across a while back (in a private collection), and made it symmetrical and ambidextrous.
