I would have to concur on that point--the falchion is essentially a saber variant, as is the Chinese dao.

When you say you have "trained" with the falchion, what exactly do you mean? Are you talking about employing a falchion in an existing martial art, or are you talking about studying a reconstructed Western martial art?
Just curious.
Peace,
