Falcata
A falcata is a type of sword typical of Pre-Roman Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula, modern Spain and Portugal), similar to the Greek kopis or Nepalese kukri. It has a one edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave on the lower part of the sword, but convex on top.
