Kopis Sword | Ancient Greek Blade ā Clay Tempered 1095 High Carbon Steel | Sizes: 30"ā80"
Wield the power of history with this handcrafted Kopis Sword, a forward-curved, single-handed blade rooted in ancient Greek tradition. Originally used for butchering meat and ritual sacrifice, the kopis evolved into a powerful battlefield weapon. Its distinctive concave curve and widening tip make it ideal for delivering axe-like chopping blows, while the inward-curved handle offers hand protection and control during impact.
This design is believed to have influenced later blades like the famed Gurkha kukri, showcasing the kopisās lasting legacy across cultures and centuries.
Blade Material: Clay Tempered 1095 High Carbon Steel
Forged from 1095 high carbon steel, this blade offers elite edge retention and hardness, with a Rockwell Hardness of 56ā58 HRC. 1095 steel contains 0.95% carbon, making it one of the hardest steels used in modern sword-making. However, to ensure strength without brittleness, each blade is clay temperedāa process where the spine is insulated during quenching while the edge cools rapidly, creating a sword that is razor-sharp yet flexible enough to withstand powerful strikes.
