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.

Great quality to price ratio.
Good bundle if you actually fight. Both feel solid enough for armored combat. I like having both options in the same kit because you never know what weapon will feel better for a specific case.
Really useful upgrade if your leg armor tends to pull the belt down. The lendenier feels light but supportive, and the suspenders make the whole setup much more stable when moving. I also like that it has several arming points, so it’s easier to adjust the height of the leg armor instead of constantly fixing it between rounds. A solid, practical piece of gear for buhurt training and fighting.
Fantastic boots, made custom to my measurements. The fit is perfect and they’re surprisingly comfortable. Would absolutely recommend these boots to anyone interested in competing in Buhurt!
Top quality, love it
You guys rocked it on this brig. It’s so much lighter than any one I’ve ever seen before. Amazing work
Very comfy! ideal fit and arrived much earlier than the estimated delivery date. Excellent customer service too.
Excellent little bit of kit. Easy to put together, and sufficiently chunky for the job.
