Khopesh Machete – 16-Inch Hand-Forged Egyptian Sword | Functional Leaf Spring Blade

The Khopesh Machete is a tribute to one of history’s most iconic weapons—revived as a fully functional, hand-forged blade. Originating over 3,000 years ago during Egypt’s Bronze Age, the Khopesh was a sickle-shaped sword developed from battle axes. Its unique design was used by ancient Egyptian warriors and pharaohs alike, making it both a deadly weapon and a powerful symbol of authority and divine power. The Khopesh played a key role during Egypt’s New Kingdom period and was often depicted in the hands of rulers such as Ramses II and found in royal tombs like that of Tutankhamun.

At Everest Forge, we’ve brought this historic weapon back to life using traditional Nepalese blacksmithing methods. Each machete is hand-forged from recycled 5160 high-carbon truck leaf spring steel, heat-treated for hardness, and water-tempered for toughness. The result is a blade that honors the original form but performs as a practical cutting tool today.

The 16-inch curved blade is sharpened and battle-ready, ideal for jungle use, bushcraft, or as a standout piece in any historical blade collection. A full-tang rosewood handle ensures durability and a comfortable grip, and it comes complete with a custom leather scabbard for safe storage and carry. Whether you're a collector, reenactor, or outdoor enthusiast, this Khopesh Machete connects you to an ancient legacy with modern functionality.
