This is the best pic of a falchion that I could find, but I like a straighter back that curves into a point.
Like the one in this?
None of those really, the closest one is top one in this one,

But with straighter back.

Or this

I want one of Wally Hayes' custom made Katanas, such as the one pictured here. Every one is hand forged and tempered using traditional techniques. I got to handle one at a custom knife show last year and it's beyond amazing. I must have one! Too bad they cost something like $2500 US and go up from there.

There's no pleasing some folk. You're not a woman are you? :D

Ok last lot :P

There's this

Or this

Perhaps this, this or lastly the sixth one down here

And if that doesn't sate your appetite for Falchions, Nothing will (until you learn how to do a proper web search yourself :P )

Pah this is nothing, I've been relatively sane and cogent today. Why back opn ASVS I'd post some completely insane stuff, and write S/TGOD as well. Ah them were the days, when men were men and sheep were scared.

I bought the one completely useless thing I wanted - a laserpen. Sure enough, completely useless...

Although a close second is the Clarinet Reed Clipper. I played for years and never used the thing.
