Little Khopesh – 12-Inch Hand-Forged Egyptian Curved Sword Knife | Full Tang, 5160 Steel, Rosewood Handle- Leather Sheath

The Little Khopesh is a compact, fully functional version of the legendary Egyptian curved sword, hand-forged for real-world use or display. Measuring 12 inches in blade length, this smaller khopesh captures the historic design of the original sickle-shaped weapon once wielded by Egyptian warriors and royalty. It was prized for its ability to chop and disarm opponents with its unique forward-curved shape.

Forged in Nepal by skilled blacksmiths at Everest Forge, this blade is made from tough 5160 leaf spring steel—commonly sourced from truck suspension systems—tempered with water for strength and sharpened for immediate use. The 5-inch full tang handle is made of solid rosewood, providing both grip and balance. It includes a leather-wrapped scabbard for protection and traditional presentation.
