The Khopesh Short Sword/Knife For Sale
Did a short version of the Khopesh Sword.
History of the Khopesh Sword:
Khopesh is the Egyptian name of the Canaanite “sickle-sword”. It’s origins can be traced back to third millennium Sumer. It was initially used against the Egyptians in war, but as the kingdom of Egypt improved trade relations with other kingdoms, eventually it adopted the Khopesh. While originally these ancient swords were used against the Egyptians, they were so impressed by them that they adopted them as their own and the Khopesh eventually became the very symbol of Egyptian authority, with two such swords even found in the tomb of the legendary Pharaoh/Mummy Tutankhamun (c 1350 BC).
