1 review for Falcata with Brass Hilt – Deepeeka

  1. Ian D.

    A work of art I bought this brass handled Falcata a few years ago as my first real purchase from KultOfAthena; I had never had a “real” sword up until then. As an amateur stone, classical and dark age historian, I have loved the design of the Falcata and the Kopis, along with the leaf shaped bronze and iron swords of that time period. When the sword arrived I was immediately impressed by its brass handle and eagle head design, which is very similar to archeological finds. The blade has a mirror finish, and when placed into the light at an angle, you can see faint hammer hardening waves. The blade came sharp, though I did order additional sharpening from Kult. I was easily able to cut gallon jugs and make short work of sticks between 1-2″ thick. I always was tempted to do a “flesh test” with a large piece of meat, but never did, though on one occasion I left the sword unsheathed with the first 1/3 of the blade sticking out past my couch. I somehow forgot it was there and while moving past it, the blade gently scraped my bare calf; I almost didn’t notice it, until I saw blood running down my leg from a 4″ long cut going through a few layers of skin. Considering there was nearly zero pressure against the blade, I’d consider that sharp enough. The leather scabbard has brass rings in just the right places; I was able to fashion a series of brown leather straps with clips to wrap around the chest and above the shoulder and hang the sword comfortably under the armpit, very similar to Travis Bickle’s .44 Magnum in Taxi Driver. This is actually very similar to historical texts for properly carrying a Falcata into battle. All in all, I have never once regretted buying this beautiful sword, and I consider it my personal heirloom. To be perfectly honest, I would part with every other sword in my collection before I would let go of my Falcata.
