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.

"It was grown in an orchard by a small samurai" is a very funny sentence in so many ways.

Idk why you are complaining about the steel. Egyptian weapons would’ve been bronze at best, though many were just simple iron. To be fair, only some of these weapons on this show would be steel. Many would be bronze or even iron. If we really want to get technical, almost zero of the weapons that have a wooden hilt use a tree from that weapons’ country of origin. Stop being a troll and enjoy the show

Salem made the most beautiful blade i have ever seen. It looked ancient and futuristic at the same time. Super aggressive shape, stunning pattern, and those fullers really set it off. Great work my man.

That damascus one has to be in a top sword list, absolute gorgeous and without a doubt one of the most beautiful piece on the show so far, truly.

1:32 i dont know why but the way he's hammering cracks me up

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.
