Description
More swords.The first two are of course medievalised falcatas, but I didn't really want to use the word 'falcata' because it's a modern scholarly term.
Taivira = Medieval Phoenician/Carthaginian Iberia
Andeira = Iberia
Almannend (Hallowed Empire) = Germany (Holy Roman Empire)
Gauridion = Medieval Tocharians
My other swords:

I believe the contemporary term for the falcata was "kopis" or somesuch.

Well, it all depends, falcata is a modern term, but the kopis, kukri, and khopesh all have that form and shape, in fact it's quite common all over the world, the kopis is the greek one, kukri being the one used by the nepalese, indians etc., and the khopesh is the ancient egyptian one that is suspected to be their etymological ancestor.

Damn Italians and their falchions. XD

Thanks for the comment. I guess they're supposed to be 'medievalized' or 'renaissancified' Iberian falcatas, but the falcata curve is pretty similar to the kopis curve. And yeah, I should get around to doing some more Italian-style swords.

The first two are pretty interesting. They remind me of a sort of Venitian falchion-type hilt with a kopis style blade. It's cool looking.
