Quote:I wonder if the falx had the same cutting ability as the medieval longswords?Being curved, it would probably be worse for the defender. A curved blade is always in slicing mode, they tell me, as it hits at an angle to the meat it's slicing. Same idea as a scythe being curved instead of straight-bladed.
Hey, 10,000 Samurai can't be wrong. Ok, theirs curve the other way, but--
