Greek Xiphos Sword – Leaf-Shaped Battle-Ready Blade

The Everest Forge Greek Xiphos Sword is a historically accurate, hand-forged recreation of the iconic weapon carried by ancient Greek hoplites during the 5th to 3rd centuries BCE. Known for its unique double-edged leaf-shaped blade, the Xiphos was the primary short sword of Greek warriors, used in close-quarter combat once the longer spear (dory) had broken or become ineffective. This blade was renowned for its versatility, speed, and ability to deliver deep, slicing cuts on the battlefield.

Forged by hand using traditional techniques, this Xiphos is crafted from high-carbon steel and water-tempered for enhanced strength and durability. The 21-inch blade embodies the balance and agility that made the original sword a deadly sidearm in the phalanx formations of classical warfare. The 6-inch full tang handle is carved from durable rosewood, offering a solid, ergonomic grip for training, combat, or display. The sword is completed with a genuine leather-wrapped wooden scabbard and reinforced steel guard and pommel—true to historical design while ensuring functional use.

Know More About the Greek Xiphos Sword:

The Xiphos was used extensively in ancient Greece, particularly by the hoplites—heavily armored infantry soldiers of the Greek city-states. Its distinctive leaf-shaped blade was ideal for both cutting and thrusting in tight combat, especially in the phalanx formation. The Xiphos was often used in conjunction with the dory, a spear, but when the spear broke or became ineffective, the Xiphos proved to be a reliable and versatile sidearm.

Artifacts and ancient depictions confirm its widespread use by Greek warriors, and today, the Xiphos remains an iconic symbol of ancient Greek military prowess. The craftsmanship of these blades, whether ancient or modern, is a testament to the evolution of weaponry in warfare, from simple tools of survival to sophisticated instruments of battle.
