Falchion - Bracamarte "Cantigas" 13th Century

The Falchion, also known as the "Cantigas" S. XIII Bracamarte, is a weapon depicted in several illuminations of the Cantigas of Alfonso X the Wise. This weapon was used in a civil setting as a more forceful defense than a dagger. In the vignette that served as inspiration for this Falchion, the contenders use a cloak rolled around their hand as a defense, one of the first and earliest representations of the use of a cloak for protection.

This Falchion is made of steel with rounded edges and a wooden hilt with brass rivets. Additionally, it comes with a leather sheath included as a gift. Its total length is 64.5 cm and the blade length is 50 cm. It is recommended not to store the blade inside the sheath for long periods of time because leather is a hygroscopic material and can transmit moisture to the metal, causing it to rust over time.

It is important to note that the carbon steel is untreated, so it may have rust, which is easily removable. To protect this item from rust, synthetic or mineral oil can be used. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that this product is a historical reproduction designed following its aesthetic appearance and materials, but not always to fulfill the same functions as the original piece.

In summary, the "Cantigas" S. XIII Falchion is a work of art that reinterprets history. It is a piece that not only serves a function as a weapon but is also a display of the art and culture of the time. If you are a history and weapons enthusiast, the "Cantigas" S. XIII Falchion is a perfect choice for you.
