Sekhmet’s Claw Khopesh – 19-Inch Hand-Forged Egyptian Sword 

Inspired by the mighty Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, protector of pharaohs and goddess of war, the Sekhmet’s Claw Khopesh is a hand-forged tribute to one of the most iconic blades in ancient history. Forged in Nepal by master blacksmiths using time-honored techniques, this 19-inch Khopesh sword reflects both the beauty and brutality of Egypt’s battlefield legacy.

Originating during the Bronze Age and perfected during the New Kingdom, the Khopesh was more than a weapon—it was a symbol of divine authority and military prowess. Carried by elite warriors and even kings, the sickle-shaped blade was used to slash, hook, and disarm enemies with devastating efficiency. Its distinctive curve made it perfect for close-quarters combat, while its presence in royal tombs (like that of Tutankhamun) emphasized its spiritual and ceremonial value.

Our Sekhmet’s Claw Khopesh is crafted from high-carbon 5160 spring steel, recycled from truck suspension systems for optimal strength. The blade is water-tempered and semi-polished to preserve its working character. The ergonomic full-tang rosewood handle offers superior grip and balance for real-world functionality. Whether you’re a historical enthusiast, practitioner, or collector, this fully functional Khopesh brings ancient warfare into your hands.
