Built for the Modern Collector.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kopis was the blade of choice for Spartan warriors — a single-edged curved sword designed to deliver powerful downward cuts with maximum force. This handmade Spartan Kopis is built from carbon steel with a black stone-wash coating that gives the blade a raw, battle-worn look straight out of the forge. The curved blade follows the classic Kopis profile: wide at the tip, narrowing toward the guard, with a fuller groove running the length of the blade. The curved hook-style finger guard with white dot rivets and the dark rosewood handle with matching white dot rivets complete a sword that looks as powerful as it is. The dark brown distressed leather sheath with white chain-stitch stitching and two snap strap closures finishes a collector piece built to display and to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle-Edged Curved Kopis \/ Falcata Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Stone-Wash Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuller Groove Running Full Length of Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 18 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 24 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Rosewood with White Dot Rivets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurved Hook-Style Finger Guard, Black Coated Steel, White Dot Rivets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Brown Distressed Leather, White Chain-Stitch Stitching, Two Snap Strap Closures, Black Belt Strap with Silver Buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSword Collecting | Display \u0026amp; Wall Mounting | Greek \u0026amp; Spartan History Enthusiasts | Gift for Him | Christmas Gift | Birthday Gift | Home Decor | Outdoor Enthusiast | Collector Piece\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel single-edged curved Kopis blade with black stone-wash coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuller groove running the full length of the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved hook-style finger guard with black coating and white dot rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark rosewood handle with ergonomic curved grip and white dot rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark brown distressed leather sheath with white chain-stitch stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo snap strap closures with rivets and black belt strap with silver buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kopis blade shape is one of the most distinctive in ancient sword design — a single-edged curved blade that widens toward the tip, concentrating weight at the point of impact for powerful downward cuts. This blade is ground from carbon steel with a black stone-wash coating that reduces reflectivity and gives the surface a raw, textured finish. The fuller groove runs the full length of the blade, reducing weight while maintaining stiffness. Carbon steel holds a sharper edge than stainless and develops a natural patina with use that adds character over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Handle \u0026amp; Guard\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dark rosewood handle is shaped with an ergonomic curve that fits naturally in the hand for a secure grip.
