Blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. This shape distributes the weight in a way that the falcata is capable of delivering a blow with the momentum of an axe, while maintaining the longer cutting edge of a sword. The grip is typically hook-shaped, the end often stylized in the shape of a horse or a bird.

Taken from a roman time sword that existed and was used by Lusitans (and those dudes kicked ass big time)

That looks remarkably like a kopis, but could/would be covered by a type of short sword as it looks to be iron/steel rather than bronze.

thrutfully the rl kopis are the origin\inspiration for these swords Lusitans would burrie the steal under the ground and let the earh "eat" the weaker parts of it then use 2 or 3 sheets of that steal to make them.

It would appear we already have falcata's in TLI

A lot of the weapons you can buy have a lot of flexibility honestly. You can have nearly every weapon in medieval times, just need to find what's closest in the databanks and us that.
