Horsehead Kopis-Falcata – Hand Forged in Nepal| 22 Inch Ancient Curved Blade
The Horsehead Kopis-Falcata is a powerful, hand-forged sword inspired by the legendary blades of the ancient world. Forged in Nepal by skilled artisans at Everest Forge, this 22-inch blade is made from high-quality 5160 leaf spring steel, prized for its strength, durability, and edge retention. It features a bird or horse head handle design, a nod to ancient Iberian and Greek craftsmanship, blending functional use with artistic design.
Crafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques, each blade is water tempered for optimal hardness and flexibility, then polished and sharpened for immediate use. The 7-inch full tang handle, made from rich rosewood, offers a secure grip and balance during use. A scabbard is included for safe storage and transport.
This sword is ideal for collectors, practitioners of historical martial arts, or anyone seeking a functional and historically inspired cutting tool.
Historical Information:
The Kopis and Falcata are closely related curved swords used in ancient Greece and the Iberian Peninsula. Designed with a forward-curving blade, these weapons were engineered to deliver powerful slashing blows in battle. The horsehead handle is a classic motif found in several ancient Iberian swords, symbolizing strength, speed, and nobility. This design combines the cutting power of the Greek Kopis with the elegance and finesse of the Iberian Falcata, offering a weapon with both history and utility.
