i imagine that the kopesh actually held up better then most blades of the time because even tho it was a soft metal the shape helped keep it in one piece longer and esp if they gave the outside edge a raised area around the entire blade

It *was* the best side-arm for Bronze. The shape of a Khopesh keeps its edge and frame longer than a traditional longsword. It is, however, harder to shape and forge, hence why come iron it was largely abandoned or relegated to farming (sickles) Of course, no one can ever deny the superiority of the humble spear. Truly, a weapon so great it's still in use today by way of bayonet knives afixed to M16s

I’m not in any way knocking your hard work on this piece. You’ve done an amazing job. But I just want to sit back and marvel at the fact that someone thousands of years ago made pieces like this without the use of power tools and laser cutting for precision. You put a ton of work into this, but it’s incredible to think that someone did this millennia ago without modern tools.

Good steel is better than bronze, but good steel was hard to come by for most of human history. Also, alloying steel was not a reproducible process (required the sheer luck of having ores of alloy metals available a the right oncentration) in pre-modern times, while Bronze could be made to alloyed to exact specifications from (by the standards of the time) pure copper and tin. But then steel was so much cheaper.

Throughout the Bronze Age, these were the most effective and most desirable weapon for infantry or individuals after the spear. The shape makes them more durable than a sword of similar weight, because the curved edge keeps the khopesh from bending the way a straight sword (like a broadsword) the same length would if made from tin bronze.

No armor or relatively bad armor which did not stand properly against slashing/crushing blows by that time. Armor improved - weapon changed towards piercing or crushing. Khopesh is quite a hybrid of an axe and a curved sword with improved cutting/slashing properties. Even if khopesh fail to cut through - crushing damage will be still dangerous. Very interesting bronze age technology.

I have always liked the design of this ancient sword/short sword. The straight middle section between the handle and the curved cutting edge acts as a very study shield, you can block an opponents blow while likely dulling their blade, but without having to chip or dull your own blade. It's also aesthetically pleasing, it looks sleek but also viscious

I agree that this kind of sword is super cool. Unfortunately it is super difficult to forge steel into that shape, it can only really be cast, so once steel weapons became the norm the khopesh kind of died out. Cast iron is too brittle for use in weapons, and casting steel requires way hotter temperatures than they could achieve at the time.

If you want a weapon that is as good at stabbing as it is slashing, then yeah, it's inefficient and likely prone to getting caught on bones, armor, and such (thinking of that back end hook, there are examples where its less pronounced, Canaanite variants IIRC ). But if the focus is slashing (considering how soft bronze is, a likely possibility), I suspect it's a fairly effective weapon.

most interesting thing to me about this weapon's design is that it evolved from the crescent war axe

everything was perfect except one thing. Right after you melted the Tin, you put in a bit too much sea salt. I suppose that could be personal preference, but the blade wont taste right in the end.

I'm sure there is umami mixed with it. That's why the quantity seems bigger. It'll not affect the final taste.
