Dacian Falx

This weapon is somewhat popular on RP realms in particular due to its similarity to a Japanese sword.

it,s called a katana

Agreed, this is very similar in appearance to a katana. I think when my Blood Elf female paladin reaches 21 that I'll have to buy this for her simply to see if she swings it in the correct manner.

no, its not a Japanase sword. it was a dacian sword used by falxmen warriors. The name says all

True, the name certainly alludes to that. But visually, it more resembles a katana than a falx. Thanks for pointing that out though, I don't know why I didn't think to look up the name.

I play Warcraft, so I never expected to say this (it feels hypocritical) but... [i]geek[/i]. ;)

This is too steeply curved for a Katana. Other details are also wrong, such as the structure of the tip and the hilt. But, any port in a storm!

@Maira You need to do a reality check. That you are ignorant does not make someone a geek, it may seem that to you though. I am only saying this because it seems like you think of the term geek as something negative. I definitely don't.

This sword probably comes from the territory in ancient Rome, Dacia. That is now named Romania, so the sword was probably used by the Dacians :)

Except it's the wrong design. A Falx curved forward.

Ancient Roman Empire to be more accurate :) also the weapon itself was more of a polearm.

This sword was used way before Rome became an empire. it was a small sword with a curve,and warriors had to stay away from eachother even while walking so that they dont cut each others arms or legs. in battle this thing did cut arms and legs. Falx was used by Thracians and the Bastarnae tribe who were both known as brutal mercanaries. Also Dacians used them,hence the name.

The inventor of this above mentioned roman sword is a guy called "David Obviousmaximus", He was nicknamed Dacian, thus the sword name. His cat put the name to this particular sword as it was called Falx. He himself used this sword to hold his toilet paper in his outhouse of his mansion in central rome. geez come on captain...

The model used is also historically inaccurate, as the sword was indeed a long curved blade,but the cutting edge was similar to that of a sickle (it was concave, not convex as shown here).This particular curvature, when employed in a "pulling" downward or sideways swing, proved to be so gruesomely effective that it could cleave shields wide open and amputate limbs in one stroke.It was even capable of slicing through Roman issued metal helmets. The Romans were so terrified of the weapon that they had to modify their army`s armor to better cope with this threat: helms were reinforced with thick metal bars to prevent more decapitations and full body cleavings.

I'd like to see this duel wielded by a warrior with Titans grip.

useful for any belfs wanting to make a sephiroth char

[url=http://wowironman.com]Ironman Challenging[/url] warriors and paladins may want this one at level 21, as it is the two hands weapon with the highest DPS until they reach level 30.

Although named Dacian Falx, this model looks more like a No-dachi, a Samurai long sword.

>from dacia >no dacia in warcraft dun dun DUUUN

Is there any similar sword for transmog in the game? This looks awesome, kinda like a proto-saber, but sadly, can not be used as a weapon skin.

This can now be used for transmogrification.
