    Thanks Dennis! I would love to see your take on one! I wish I would have done a cut test, time got away from me and I didn't get a chance to add it, but I will be doing a short showcasing it soon. I appreciate you watching!

    Amazing build! I love the choice in weapon! Most people don’t know that a khopesh is classified as a battle ax and not a sword. I love this piece! Beautiful chopper!

    You did a good job. Btw, how much longer longer would this project take you without powertools?

  • @Mysticmountainforge

    @Mysticmountainforge

    Жыл бұрын

    Thanks! It would take a lot longer, this build took me around 20-25 hours from beginning to end, If I were to do it over using just hand tools, I would spend more time forging it closer to shape and probably go with a forged finish look to save more time in the long run. I would have probably also considered going with a full tang minus the guard as well, I would think it would take 40 hours or so to do it all by hand. I appreciate you watching!
