I need advice,I have a bit of a problem. I can't decide which to get. I wan't somthing that is historically accurate. When It comes to falcatas I have read that the historical ones were always curved but I seen one that is slightly curved. I don't know much about this machaira except that Xenophon recommended it for cavalry. Here are the 3 items. WHAT IS MORE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE?
