I named it Bucephalas, because it’s BIG, and would break the enemies sword in battle. This sword will do some damage if used properly! Believe me. CRUNCH!
This is a custom version of the Khopesh. Their usually a one handed sword. This viscous sword takes two hands to wield it.
Video Demonstrating how Devastating this Sword can be, a History of Bucephalas, and his rider and companion Alexander the Great.

History of Bucephalas (Name means Ox-Head):
Bucephalas, the faithful steed of Alexander the Great of Macedonia. Alexander and Bucephalas first met when Alexander was just 12 years old in 344 BC. Unruly and vicious, even the best horsemen were unable to mount him. Alexander recognized great potential and had noticed that the horse seemed nervous of both his handlers and of his own shadow. Alexander turned the horse toward the sun so his shadow disappeared. Bucephalas began to relax and allowed the boy to vault up on his back. They rode off together and from that moment they were inseparable. Bucephalas responded to Alexander s understanding hand and, restored in spirit, became an exemplary war horse.
