The Falcata tho.
I'm having a little crazy obsession with this type of sword recently. At first I was a little put off by its strange curve, but as I looked into it more and more it kinda grew on me. Plus Orcrist, IMO
the most beautiful sword in both the Hobbit trilogy and the LoTR trilogy, looks a lot like one.
I have always thought those were cool weapons. The Greeks had an almost identical sword called a Kopis. It seems to have been a favorite of heavy cavalry. Alexander is often depicted wielding one. By putting all the weight forward, it would have been a powerful chopping weapon. Good against people wearing armor.
