War Cleaver Falchion for Armored Combat

War Cleaver Falchion is a compact one-handed weapon with a distinctive cleaver-style blade and strong forward balance. Its widened front section puts more visual and physical presence toward the end of the blade, while the relatively short overall length keeps it practical at close range.

TL;DR

• Compact one-handed falchion for armored combat
• Weight: 1.475 kg (3.25 lb)
• Full length: 81 cm (31.9 in)
• Blade length: 62 cm (24.4 in)
• Handle length: 19 cm (7.5 in)
• Balance point: 18 cm (7.1 in)
• Wide cleaver-style blade profile
• Long central fuller
• Wrapped one-handed grip
• Compact crossguard

The most noticeable feature is the widened front section of the blade. Compared with a more conventional straight sword profile, it shifts more of the blade’s mass toward the striking end. Therefore, the War Cleaver has a pronounced forward-weighted feel.

The balance point sits 18 cm (7.1 in) forward. As a result, the weapon carries plenty of blade presence through a swing. This makes it a good choice for fighters who prefer a substantial strike rather than a neutral, sword-like balance.

At the same time, the falchion measures only 81 cm (31.9 in) overall. So, despite the forward balance, it remains compact enough for close exchanges, work near the lists, and situations where a longer weapon becomes difficult to recover.

A long fuller runs through most of the 62 cm (24.4 in) blade. In addition, the clean straight section of the blade transitions into the wider cleaver-style tip, giving the weapon its recognizable profile without adding unnecessary complexity.

The 19 cm (7.5 in) handle provides a dedicated one-handed grip. Meanwhile, the compact crossguard stays out of the way during fast angle changes and close-range weapon work.

Overall, the War Cleaver combines compact dimensions with a strongly forward-balanced blade. Therefore, it suits fighters who want a short one-handed falchion that still feels substantial during strikes.
