- Design & Appearance: The Flamberge, also known as a "flame-bladed sword," is recognizable by its wavy or undulating blade. This distinctive, flame-like design is meant to make the blade look like it's flickering with flames, hence the name "flamberge" (from the French words flammes for "flames" and berge for "blade"). The wave-like edges are not only decorative but also intended to create a more dramatic cutting motion, with the blade creating a more chaotic and unpredictable swing.
- Use: The Flamberge was a weapon used primarily during the Renaissance and early modern periods, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was often used as a two-handed weapon due to its larger size and weight, making it less practical for one-handed combat. The sword was mainly used in warfare, particularly in battles where it could cause confusion and break through lines of soldiers.
- Functionality: The wave pattern was believed to make the weapon more efficient at cutting through armor, but in reality, it was also known for being challenging to control and maintain accuracy in strikes. Some historians suggest the wavy blade had more of a psychological impact on opponents than an actual tactical advantage.
