2 Handed Khopesh
In response to meeting our stretch goal of $20,000, we asked our customers to choose from a selection of weapons they'd most like to see made next, and you chose a 2 handed khopesh! Pictured is a preliminary design made of mdf and finished in bronze to give an idea of the final look. 160cm long. Whilst not based on any known historical forms, there are similar designs often represented in films. Would go well for an elite guard or executioner. Excellent for hooking and bypassing shields.
