The khopesh is one of those weapons that is easily dismissed when you first see pictures of it since it just looks like a farm tool. But it's only when you see it practiced with that you can really appreciate it; the hook allows for entangling, it's offset blade allows for deep hard cuts and the tip being in line with the hilt meant it was entirely viable as a thrusting weapon. Truly versatile.

Also, I think Salem made a very smart decision lengthening his handle like he did. I've seen Khopeshes before, and a lot of them are about as big as a Roman Gladius, which is not a particularly long sword. This clip doesn't show it, but Salem spends Day 1 looking at images of historical Khopeshes from various tombs: "(shows one picture) This is a Khopesh from the tomb of King Ramses II. (moves to another picture) This is a Khopesh from King Tutankhamen's tomb." The judges asked for a blade that was between 28-32 inches, but as Salem pointed out when examining the images of the various Khopeshes, "A lot of these, historically, were 25 inches or less." So with the judges asking for a blade as long as they did, I'd imaging not lengthening the handle would have made the whole sword very front-heavy.

Because historical khopeshes were made of bronze which doesn't lend itself to a long blade. And the reason it's compared so much to a battle axe is because the blade wasn't particularly sword-like either, it was thick.
