The Falcata, a sword known for its distinctive convex blade, is a unique weapon that emerged from the ancient Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal). Its blade features a forward-curving, leaf-like shape designed for enhanced slicing power and deep cuts. The convex curvature concentrates the force at the point of impact, making it effective against armor. Often adorned with intricate engravings and hilt designs, this sword was favored by warriors for its lethal precision and adaptability in close-combat scenarios.
