As a historian, right now im on an investigation for an archeology field analizing iberian weapons, the falcata was not the primal (spears had that title) but was very unique (when it evolved to the falcata) for the time being and was very feard, the fact she put the horse head was amazing because the falcatas had a lot of decoration but in the handle there was:
- Bird head decoration (most popular)
- Horse head decoration (less popular historians think is was more ritualistic answer to why)
- Hog head decoration
He lost to a woman.. lame
I’m calling it after seeing that horse head this guy doesn’t stand a chance.
This falcata look outside a curve shape like a kukri right?
The Falcata where created by the Lusitanian using a 5 years technic under hearth. It wasn’t the Spanish that is the youngest independent state of Ibéria. That’s a 2000 years of history denied.
So no keal ?
I’d have forged a duck head on mine.…cause why not.
What’s the girls site I want her to make me a falcata
She made the best weapon no doubt
NO KILL TEST?!
Looks like a kukri
I have a handmade falcata and it is a beautiful sword.
justin made awesome falcata but it looks like wharncliffe,but Kelly made cooler falcata
He keeps saying the Spanish sword.. Spain didn’t exist yet, Iberian sword is more like it.
viriato
You sure did Kelly. That was an awesome piece. Well done!
She straight up hand forged, in charcoal, a horse hand pommel and made the blade in one single piece the only way to make it better would’ve been to make it with Damascus steel. The other dude design was nice as well except for that stupid hook thingy, what was he thinking when he did that?
I liike the humility, either winning or losing, of the contestants in that show.
Is Iberian falcata and Nepalese kukri relatable ?
Román empire was afraight with this weapon from my Iberian ancestors.
6:32 look at the welds on that rig lol they should hire one of the competitors to weld that up proper.
The Iron Age Iberians and Celt-Iberians were truly master weapon smiths. They used slings and solid iron javelins (Soliferrum) for ranged combat. For close combat they used spears, Falcatas, and the Gladius Hispaniensis which the Romans later adopted. In Eastern Iberia bronze pectorals and the large Scutum shield were used for protection. In Western Iberia light armor was used in conjunction with the Caetra, a small circular buckler-like shield.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG your history about the sword was actually invented by Carthaginians that conquered Spain to teach the half celtic and half iberian soldier of phoenician religion which relates too roman religion
Sore loser, wouldn’t shake her hand.
La falcata es la espada típica de nuestros primeros antepasados, en España y Portugal. Un arma preciosa y efectiva.
Spanish???? No. Iberians and Lusitanians. Ancient peoples of the Iberian Peninsula who gave rise to Portugal close to 900 years ago, and Spain around 500. Spain is more recent, before there were several kingdoms. The correct name is Falcata Ibérica
She as much a artist as a blade smith. I think the dude got his feeling hurt
Just watched this a second time, Kelly’s blade was awesome.
Shares a lot of similarities with the yatagan.
WHat if EGYPTIAN KHOPESH inspired the FALCATA ??
(not affirming anything, just giving some facts, and searching some answers).
- Falcata is supposed to be inspired by the celtic sickle. BUT, it is TRUELY another conception, when the cutting edge is “IN” the curvature, it is “OUT” on a falcata /hope you understand me/, not the same purpose.. for a sickle, the use is to “catch”, as you do for herbs, when for a falcata, the purpose is to give more weight and cinetic to this part, exacly as for a khopesh or a kopis, or, an axe).
- Does anyone put a FALCATA and a KOPIS side by side? The greec sword is widely known to be inspired by the egyptian sword, even the name is an known etymological proof.
- First time the romans saw a falcata, was the exact time HANNIBAL BARCA was in Hiberia (spain). This guy came from Carthage, witch is actually in north africa, same distance from egypt, than it is from spain… Berbere people from north africa, and other nomad people as bedouin, or touareg, are known to have spread egyptian knowledge and culture in africa, mostly, of course, in the north, and towards the south by nomads roads. So how a sword, and in general, a culture, could inspired GREECE, that is farest, and separated by a see, and not carthage, another great civisation from the same continent (even, 1000 years later).
Well, their is some other points that push me to believe that their is some common culture of crafts around those all swords, and Im really curious to learn more about it, or debate with who is interested.
isnt the falcata aka machete aka gladius hispaniolensis?
I must admit, I was worried when she started to make a V‑cut and reforge it just to make it look pretty. That was risk cos we don’t know what the judges gonna do with it.
Fun fact, the roman legions had to change completely their armour and shields because these weapons would just break their shields with one hit
finally a media that potrait strong woman perfectly
Shpata me i forte ne bote nuk ta fal
It’s origins come from ancient Carthage (Tunisia) and new Carthage(Spain).
He really ate his words
Not happy with the guy, because he’s a woman? It is clear that the woman’s Falcata (Kelly) is much prettier and as effective in terms of strength and sharpness as the other, but the pommel of the other Falcata is dangerous to handle.
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not a “spanish blade”, its an “Iberian blade” because it was used by the ancient Portuguese and Spanish.
Falcata is Carthaginian. In Tunisia lol not from Spain
