'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an ornate, curving blade. It is a revered relic that has seen countless centuries of service with the [[Deathwatch]]. However, it was used against the encroaching swarms of [[Hive Fleet Dagon]], and plunged into the toxic flesh of a [[Venomthrope]].{{Fn|1}}
After the battle, it was discovered that [[bio-acid]] blood of the Tyranid organism was eating into the blade, weakening its structure.{{Fn|1}} All attempts to cleanse the Falchion and halt the corrosion failed, for the acid had penetrated at the molecular level. So the [[Chapter]] artificers constructed a sheath that keeps the blade in stasis as long as it remains inside and undrawn.{{Fn|1}}
On rare occasions since, the Falchion has been used in battle and the ingrained bio-acid has caused swift and horrific damage to its victims. However, even a few minutes out of the stasis-sheath brings the inevitable collapse of the blade closer to fruition.{{Fn|1}}
