This weapon falls into the Long Blades category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the dexterous.
The falchion is the lightest of the long blades, dealing less damage than the others in exchange for a slight boost to accuracy. Unless you find an exceptionally useful artifact falchion, you should really be using something else.
