The Egyptian Khopesh first became popular around 3000 BC when Upper and Lower Egypt were first united under one Pharaoh. From then on it was an important weapon in the Egyptian foot soldier’s arsenal. Originally made of bronze and later iron, the Khopesh could be sharpened on either side or both. In this case the edge is on the outside curve.

Khopesh sword is made with a classical blade but also as a version with a blackened blade.
Khopesh from Deepeeka is a reasponably nice replica of the ancient Egyptian sword at a very reasonable price.
I got my sword for display purpose but high carbon steel can be sharpened and sword could be used for cutting.
