Honshu’s Egyptian Khopesh sword strikes a compromise between a sword and an axe, bringing the cutting and slashing power of the Khopesh with the power and leverage afforded by an axe. The sharp blade is crafted from stainless steel. The handle is crafted from tough injection molded nylon which is durable and impact resistant. The blade is securely mounted into the handle with three threaded pins and the Khopesh comes with a blade sheath of stitched, thick faux leather with buttoned retaining straps.
