My wife is into curved blades, and would love to have a functional sickle-sword. She's particularly fond of the Dothraki sickle-swords on Game of Thrones. The closest thing I can find is the Egyptian Khopesh, but it's a shorter weapon, with a single hand grip.  Does a two-handed Khopesh exist, or does anyone know of something along those lines? Any help is much appreciated. |

Thanks guys. The Khopesh pictured is by Scorpion Swords.
I had a feeling this would have to be a commissioned piece...

I got a commissioned piece from Chris and it was quite affordable, for a commissioned/custom piece. It is the Mexican Bowie, you can see it on his website. traditionalarcherybows.com/ |

Voltan, if you get an answer from Chris let me know, a two-handed kopesh is something I've been thinking about for quite a while... i might even have a design or two somewhere...

You can always see if Chris and just make the handle longer on the EK. Or just have him make a Dothraki sickle sword.
The Bucephalas khopesh is a beast and all the weight is in the blade. It might be to much for your wife.

Thanks Razor, that's good to know. I'll have to contact Chris.
Enkidu, I'll let you know what he has to say when I hear back from him.

Finally contacted Chris Palmer, and for an Egyptian Khopesh like the one pictured above, but with a 10 inch grip, he quoted me $250, plus $39 for a leather sleeve, and $18 for shipping in the CONUS, for a total of $307.
Sounds good to me, just need to save some coin now! Thanks again for the help guys.
