A synthetic plastic falcata waster suitable for HEMA or WMA fighting. The falcata were swords derived from the sickle-shape knives of the Iron Age. It is thought that it was introduced in the Iberian Peninsula by the Celts who spread their iron-working technology.

Tough and durable, but with a slight flex, this weapon is a brilliant approximation of steel weaponry without the associated risks or weight. Perfect for hard sparring, technique training or simulated duels, this waster can dish out as much damage as it can weather.

This waster also features a steel finish, in the sense that the nylon pigment is steel grey, making it look more realistic than other wasters. This design is an emulation of a sidearm dagger, perhaps for use as a main-gauche for rapier fighting.

MFC does not disappoint. Out of all the other aussie related sites MFC has the most practical gear around.

Perfect short sword for my Carthaginian outfit, ideal for close quarter combat and a perfect fit in my hand for easy control, not to heavy not to light. For those thinking that this Falcata is only a limb taker with the wide blade your dead wrong. Equally good at a strong brutal stab attack. Avoid Deepekas version as it is impractical and way to heavy for use. Buy this, buy it now!

Amazing sword, amazing price! I bought the Falcata and could not be happier! It's a solidly built and durable design without the rattle most modern Falcata have!
The scabbard completely encloses the blade and is a great fit. I filled mine with mineral [baby] oil (don't use food oil) to neutralise the leather's natural acidity.
A real knockout and the price is amazing. Well done again MFC
