Editing Falchion (section)

== Elmslie typology ==
Produced by bladesmith and historian James Elmslie, this typology continuously seeks to systematically classify medieval single edged swords, similar to the way Oakeshott typology addresses double edged swords of the same period. The Elmslie typology covers all types of single edged swords from the period, which encompasses all types of falchion, as well as similar sword types such as [[falcastro]], messers, [[Dusack|tessak]], [[storta]], early [[sabre]]s, as well as transitional forms. For more information see [[Elmslie typology]].
