Khopesh - Hand Forged Egyptian Sword - 1095 Steel- 24"
type: Product
description: The khopesh is the blade the ancient world knew as the sword of Egypt: a sickle-curved profile carried by pharaohs, painted onto temple walls, and buried in royal tombs across the Bronze Age. This hand-forged khopesh measures 24 inches overall, pairing the classic sickle-curved blade in 1095 high-carbon steel with a full-tang hilt. The blade is forged, heat treated, and hand sharpened by master smiths for genuine battle-ready construction.

The originals were cast in bronze; ours is a modern forged-steel interpretation of the same iconic form, and each blade passes our four quality control checkpoints before it ships. History of the Khopesh The khopesh's story begins over four thousand years ago among the sickle-swords of Mesopotamia, and by Egypt's Middle Kingdom the form had become unmistakably Egyptian.
