WHAT KIND OF SWORD IS THE ALFANGE

The Alfanje is a curved sword with a wide blade, with a single edge on one side. It is an evolution derived from the oriental and Muslim sabers that were given characteristics of the great medieval swords. However, it is shorter and heavier than sabers with a characteristic counteredge and that have S-shaped hawks. This type of Alfanje became widespread in Italian city-states and from there spread throughout Europe.

The word Alfanje also refers to any slash weapon curved on one side and with a single edge. In short, the alfanje is a single-edged slash weapon, curved and to be used with one hand, wider than the scimitar tending to widen along the blade.
