Khopesh

Martial Melee Weapon

Khopeshes are martial melee weapons.

The khopesh typically had a handle like a knife rather than a hilt like a sword. The handle was about 6 inches (0.15 meters) long with optional crossguards. The blade extended straight for 0 feet and ​8 inches​ to ​2 feet and ​0 inches (0.2​ to ​0.61 meters) and then curved like a sickle with a sharp convex edge. The end of the blade was shaped to form a hook. Khopeshes were more brutal than most weapons dealing at least minor wounds whenever it hit. Because of the unique shape of their curved blade, khopeshes could be used to hook a shield, snag an opponent's leg in an attempt to trip them, or even tangle an opposing weapon.
