"He comes towards me, the wavy blade of his flamberge moving, snakelike, in the flickering torchlight."

Of course, some creativity is to be had with it. I couldn't have done a better job of naturally and clearly explaining the term.

'I would that I could draw back but found to my despair, and shamed though I was it to my secretest delight, that I was as firmly transfixed by the quivering of his sturdy flamberge as banquet goat is fixed on a spit. Reader, I fucked him.'

Sorry. '. . . goat is fixed on a spit. "I have heard tell of your undefeated flanchion," I sighed defiantly, "but perhaps your flamberge excels it." '

Delightful. What's a flanchion?

Thanks, but it's you deserves all the credit. (Though I must say I'm rather pleased with 'sighed defiantly'.)

I can tell you exactly what a flanchion is. It's a word on a wiki list of medieval swords.
