Hand Forge Maciejowski Crusader Medieval Chopper

Historical Overview:
Bring medieval history to life with this meticulously handcrafted reproduction of the iconic falchion famously depicted in the 13th-century Maciejowski Bible (also known as the Morgan Bible). Renowned for its unique, forward-weighted "chopper" profile, this distinctive medieval cleaver-sword is a must-have centerpiece for historical collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts of high-medieval craftsmanship.

Craftsmanship & Materials:
Every single piece is individually hand-forged in our workshop using high-quality 5160 high-carbon steel, ensuring a durable and historically accurate build that honors traditional blacksmithing methods.

The handle features a robust, full-tang construction with solid hardwood grip scales securely riveted to the steel, providing an authentic and sturdy feel whether displayed or used as a costume prop. The integrated steel pommel perfectly mirrors the striking, unique geometry seen in the illuminated manuscripts of the Crusader era.
