I'm glad the show embraces and promotes contestants that started blade smithing as a hobby, or just inspired by watching Forge in Fire.

Kopis: The Greek machete/kukri equivalent. My personal favorite Greek weapon. It was designed to be an effective chopper but had a lot of use as a slasher or even a stabber. Thanks to it's enclosed guard and hilt it could also be used to hit an opponent in the head without killing them. Short, versitile and a truly beautiful blade. I personally prefer spears or glaives but I would KEAL to have this weapon

@user-qn3zz8ig3s

Жыл бұрын

Machete/kukri are an istrument, kopis is the weapon

"your blade is a little forward heavy" *starts sweating furiously*

The kopis isn’t meant to be a traditional slasher / slicer weapon like a katana or sword, it’s meant for very close combat (last resort if spear broke etc). The reason for the heavy handed tip is because it’s meant to chop. You want to hit half way of the kopis not the tip, it’s meant to if the enemy had armour to crack or completely break through from the weight of the tip. That’s why when he slashed down at the rugs it didn’t do much but when he chopped side on and in the middle it tore through cause the weight at the end adds additional power. You’d essentially want to treat it like a mace not a katana.

Also sadly only once did I see this weapon used correctly (8:24) these are intended to be used mid blade, not at the end,, the weight increased the damage and velocity of the center of the mass of the blade, this is why the material cuts so easily at this time stamp

The major downside was the thickness of the blade, it needed to be thicker to handle the additional weight towards the tip, and because it was so thin the tip of the blade could easily twist and deflect off what it was striking.
