      • The khopesh (ḫpš; also vocalized khepesh) is an Egyptian sickle-shaped sword that developed from battle axes.


      Description


      A typical khopesh is 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, though smaller examples also exist. The inside curve of the weapon could be used to trap an opponent's arm, or to pull an opponent's shield out of the way. These weapons changed from bronze to iron in the New Kingdom period. The earliest known depiction of a khopesh is from the Stele of the Vultures, depicting King Eannatum of Lagash wielding the weapon; this would date the khopesh to at least 2500 BC.
      The blade is only sharpened on the outside portion of the curved end. The khopesh evolved from the epsilon or similar crescent-shaped axes that were used in warfare.


      History


      The khopesh fell out of use around 1300 BC. However, on the 196 BC Rosetta Stone, it is referenced as the "sword" determinative in a hieroglyph block, with the spelled letters of kh, p, and sh to say:

      Shall be set up a statue ..., the Avenger of Baq-t-(Egypt), the interpretation whereof is 'Ptolemy, the strong one of Kam-t'-(Egypt), and a statue of the god of the city, giving to him a sword royal of victory, ...
      Various pharaohs are depicted with a khopesh, and some have been found in royal graves, such as the two examples found with Tutankhamun.
      Although some examples have clearly sharpened edges, many examples have dull edges that apparently were never intended to be sharp. It may therefore be possible that some khopeshes found in high-status graves were ceremonial variants.


      Etymology


      The word khopesh may have been derived from "leg", as in "leg of beef", because of their similarity in shape. The hieroglyph for ḫpš ('leg') is found as early as during the time of the Coffin Texts (the First Intermediate Period).

    Why has the khopesh never been used since ancient Egypt?

    29 Apr 2020 · In the regions where the Khopesh was popular like Egypt and Canaan, most armies fought without any armor, but used large shields made out of wicker or a frame of wood covered in hide. Everything about the design of the Khopesh made it ideal for cutting through these shields.

    Wanted: Smiths? Who wants to give making a Khopesh a go?

    25 Mar 2008 · We have a whole lot of excellent and skilled smithies who post and read here, and I would really like to have a Khopesh (something like 2nd Dynasty, Ramses II period...) custom-made from very good materials (steel, not bronze). Price, within reason, is not an issue. (But please remember that NZ $1.00 is US 80c, ok? Haha!)
