FALCATA  (IP-086) LEGACY ARMS

The hook-shaped grip is constructed of mild blackened steel. The Falcata comes with a full length top grain black leather belt scabbard. More than just a wall hanger, this Functional Replica measures 26 1/2 inches in Overall Length with a point of balance 4 3/16 inches below the hit, weighing in at 3 lbs. 1.4 oz. |

THE FALCATA
The Falcata is believed to be a descendent of the Greek Kopis. The single edge design with the heavy forward balance made it a devastating cleaving weapon, capable of severing flesh, bone and armor in a single blow. The falcata was used to great effect by the Spanish and Celt-Iberians against the Romans for hundreds of years..
