Greek Xiphos Sword

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 white hardwood, 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.
