Khopesh Sword-Egyptian Sword

Khopesh Swords – Hand-Forged Egyptian Blades 

The Khopesh sword is one of the most iconic and recognizable weapons from the ancient world. With its distinctive sickle-shaped blade and origins in Bronze Age Egypt, the Khopesh was more than just a tool of war—it was a symbol of power, prestige, and divine authority. At Everest Forge, we hand-forge each Khopesh in Nepal using traditional blacksmithing methods and high-carbon steel, creating a functional and historically inspired blade that’s perfect for collectors, martial artists, or history enthusiasts.

The Khopesh evolved from early battle axes and was introduced to Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period, eventually becoming a favored weapon during the New Kingdom. Its curved edge was ideal for slashing, hooking, and disarming enemies in close combat, while its presence in ancient murals and royal tombs—including that of Pharaoh Tutankhamun—highlights its ceremonial and symbolic importance.

Every Khopesh sword in our collection is forged with attention to historical accuracy and built for real-world performance. Our blades are full tang and crafted for balance, strength, and durability. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or used in combat practice, these swords honor the powerful legacy of ancient Egyptian warfare.
