Falchion

The Falchion is the perfect weapon for any Gitan or other warrior cast in the Saracen mold. It is simple to use, and with a simple flick of the wrist you will intimidate and frighten your opponents.

As a Saber, this weapon is blade-heavy -with more weight at the tip of the blade, making it particularly effective for slashing attacks.

Although the Falchion is usually associated with warriors from the Middle East, it has also been used by English, French, and especially German combatants.
