This is a 25″ Egyptian Khopesh | Hand-forged Full Tang Sword by Ex Gurkha Khukuri House. A khopesh is an Egyptian curved blade where the cutting edge of the blade is usually on the blade’s convex edge. The khopesh has a sickle-like shape so that the part of the blade opposite the handle has a slight hook. That’s why some scholars classify the khopesh as a sickle-sword, a type of sword found across the Nile valley, east Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.

The Khopesh being a curved sword, was used primarily used as a cutting, slashing, and chopping weapon. It was useful in wars before the use of body armor designed to withstand slashing became widespread.
