Egyptian Khopesh with Leather Sheath

Product Description

The Egyptian Khopesh, a truly ancient sword design dating back to around 2500 BC, showcases a rich history and remarkable functionality. Originating as a Canaanite design, it likely evolved from crescent axes prevalent in the region. Revered for its prowess, the Khopesh found a place of honor in royal Egyptian tombs, emphasizing its prestige.

This reproduction stays true to the sickle-like blade design, optimized for chopping and slicing. The blade is crafted from 420 stainless steel with a sharpened edge, offering both historical accuracy and modern durability. The thick and robust spine, along with a single billet construction for the blade and grip core, ensures maximum strength.

The grip features two brass-riveted wood halves fitted securely to the thick blade tang, providing a reliable and comfortable hold. Paired with the sword is a leather sheath featuring an integrated belt loop and brass buttoned retaining straps. For versatile wearing options, the sheath includes a leather strap with an adjustable buckle, allowing it to be worn on the back.

While the ancient Khopesh was traditionally made from bronze or iron, this reproduction opts for modern, pure steel. This choice not only pays homage to the fierce capabilities of the original design but also allows cutting practitioners to appreciate its functionality without the drawbacks associated with traditional materials.
