While smaller than other Khopesh offered by Baltimore Knife & Sword, this one is closer to historical dimensions for this iconic and ancient weapon. Durably built, the medium carbon alloy steel blade with a tempered 48-50 HRC hardness is intended for stage and sport combat. The hilt components are steel and the blade tang is welded to the guard and pommel to create a robust overall construction. The grip is tightly wrapped in quality leather. This sword features a lifetime guarantee from Baltimore Knife & Sword. Should the dagger break under normal stage combat use then it will be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
