Description
Meet the falchion from the Thorpe (found in the Yare River) – type I.
This sword artifact was found in the Yare River near Norwich (East England) in 1833 and dates back to 1350.
We made this falchion ready for use in buhurts, rounding and blunting it according to the rules of armored combat.
The handle is covered with durable and anti-slip leather.
Specifications:
- Weight: ~1450–1485 g (3.2–3.27 lbs)
- Full length: 84 cm (33.1 in)
- Blade length: 66 cm (26.0 in)
- Balance point: 13 cm (5.1 in) from the crossguard
The Thorpe Falchion for medieval combat is a stylish piece for good old medieval violence.

Huge thanks @medieval_extreme for amazing quality and customer’s service. Now I have all my swords at one place at last!
P.S. okay, not all 😬😬😯
Love the helmet, sturdy but not too heavy. I haven’t used it yet but I definitely feel well protected when wearing it. I had been looking for a helmet with a simple design like this one, I looked at all the other major Buhurt sites and just so happened to see this pop up on Medieval Extreme. It was the right price with availability. It even shipped within two weeks of ordering it.
Fantastic bit of kit and wonderfully made. Arrived in time for IMCF too
Sword is damn nice
Thank you SO much for my incredible helmet. It’s beautiful!!
Comfortable flexible fits perfectly cant wait to put them to use
