Khopesh Sword

The Khopesh Sword was the iconic khopesh of the infantry in the Ptolemaic Egyptian military.
==Description==
Although generically named, the Khopesh Sword was a specific type of khopesh based on Canaanite variants of the weapon. Its blade was notably darker in color compared to other sickle-swords, notwithstanding that its edges were not as keenly fashioned. Instead, the blade was thickened around the edges, given it a rimmed appearance that implied greater hacking yet lesser cutting power. Aside from this, it also possessed a much wider guard than conventional khopeshes.
==History==
The design of the Khopesh Sword was adapted from one that originated in . It later became the standard weapon of the Ptolemaic infantry though its service with the Egyptian military may have predated this by centuries; the Battle of Gibeon Blade employed by the infantry of Shoshenq I, founder of the , appeared to have been based on the Khopesh Sword in turn.
