    It's supposed to be curved to a very sharp forward facing point for piercing. And the sickle like inner edge would sever limbs of horses. This is just a giant cleaver

      Stabbing is against the rules in this show, so having a scythe-like sword is probably out of the question

      @@foolslayer9416 yeah I agree, but it was probably stupid to put it on this show in the first place. It’s not suited for this kind of competition.

    That's no Rhomphaia, that's a jacked up machete.

      The weapon here is loosely based on depictions of 2 handed swords from the 13th century. The youtube channel "Modern History tv" has 2 videos about the weapon they are showing.

    looks like the ancient worlds equivalent of a katana.however this video definantly gives me the impression that this thing was nowhere near as agile as a katana but the appearance of this weapon still kind of reminds me of a katana.

      @@rollothewalker5535 I was under the impression that the falx was smaller, and that a Dacian Rhomphaia is like a bigger version of the falx.

    Ok so setting aside the fact that the Rhomphaia had a slight forward curve and that looks more like an oversized machete than a Romphaia...
    Why is a weapon of the Thracian iron age in a show called Knight Fight? When knights are from the medieval period?

    The Rhomphaia is curved. Not a straight hunk of metal.

      The Dacians used the Falx, a similar weapon. The Rhomphaia showed here isn't historically accurate though.
