👉 The Alexander weapon, also known as the "Alexander sword," is a type of medieval European sword named after King Alexander I of Macedon, who is credited with its development in the 4th century BCE. It features a distinctive long, slender blade with a pronounced forward-curving crossguard and a single-handed grip, designed for both thrusting and slashing attacks. The weapon's unique design allowed for greater reach and agility in combat, making it particularly effective for cavalry charges and close-quarters fighting. Its ergonomic shape and balance contributed to its popularity among medieval knights and warriors, who valued both its aesthetic appeal and practical combat capabilities.
