👉 The turn weapon, also known as the scimitar or the falchion, is a curved sword historically used by cavalry and mounted warriors, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Its unique design features a long, single-edged blade that curves backward from the hilt to the tip, providing both cutting and thrusting capabilities. This weapon was highly effective for slashing and thrusting attacks, making it ideal for mounted combat where speed and agility are crucial. The curved edge allowed for quick, sweeping motions to disarm opponents or deliver powerful strikes, while its compact size and balance facilitated ease of handling in the horseback setting.
