Historical Background

The Xiphos was the signature short sword of ancient Greek hoplites—elite infantry soldiers who dominated battlefields in phalanx formations. First appearing in the 8th century BCE, the Xiphos was designed for use after the primary spear had broken or become impractical in close quarters. Its leaf-shaped, double-edged blade was engineered for powerful slashes and precise thrusts, effective against armored and unarmored opponents alike.

Greek warriors carried the Xiphos into some of the most decisive conflicts in classical history, including the Greco-Persian Wars and the Peloponnesian War. This weapon was as much a symbol of the Greek warrior ethos as it was a deadly tool—valued for its balance, aesthetic beauty, and utility.

The Angel Wings version of the Xiphos pays homage to this storied weapon with an elegant modern interpretation. Combining historical accuracy with modern forging, this sword bridges the ancient world and the present—crafted for those who appreciate both legacy and functionality.
