Interesting video, I liked your conclusions about using a falchion with a reverse blade arrangement. Do you make your own training swords from nylon, or do you modify ready-made BlackFencer products? I gladly subscribed to your channel!
Very interesting observation about binding with the Type 2 falchion tip. I like these type of speculative ideas that come out of actually using a sword. I do have two reservations though. One, wouldn't the tip area of a falchion like that be very thin (1-2mm), meaning that it would not have the structure to bind as well as the synthetic proxy? Two, wouldn't it be a risky move to pull off? You are committing to a thrust type motion to bind the other's weapon not attack the person, a feint and a slash come to mind to punish that. But once you bind the other's weapon, you do so with the weak of the blade, so you may be more at a disadvantage than the opponent. Ultimately, since these falchions didn't really catch on, I see it as evidence that they may not have had a particular advantage (including the binding with the tip).

I would like to see this design refined into a kind of billhook sword that could also hook by pulling. It seems like it's headed in that direction.
Those actually do show up in English and Flemish art

The volume is too low in your video
