Khopesh of the Pharaoh

Like a snake in the grass, you are ready to cunningly take down your opponents with the Khopesh of the Pharaoh in your hand. This curved sword takes its design from the world of Ancient Egypt and of its pharaohs. Multiple pharaohs have been depicted with a pair of these striking swords.

Sword Construction

While the original blades were made of bronze or iron, this khopesh sword has one of blackened C60 high-carbon steel. It has a deep sickle design common to the khopesh sword. Historically, the inside of the curve was useful for pulling upon an opponent’s arm or shield.

A copper snake runs along the center of the blade, facing towards the hilt. Grooves adorn the snakes body. The edge of the functional sword runs along the outside of the curve. The base of the blade features a highly detailed ricasso. A cobra with a flared hood adorns the center of the ricasso. Snakes with spiraled bodies flank the edges, facing towards the guard.

The brass guard tapers outward toward the blade. It has a leaf-like arched pattern, a popular Egyptian motif. The hilt continues with a blackened wooden grip. Brass rivets secure the grip to the tang of the blade.

The hilt ends with a pommel that matches the shape and carved detailing of the guard. In addition to this detailing, there is a cobra on the flat end of the pommel. It has its hood flared, ready to strike.

Companion Scabbard

Finally, this Egyptian sword comes with a leather scabbard. It secures over the blade with three straps and posts. The brown scabbard also has a shoulder strap for carrying.
