KoA has a new line "Devil's Edge"... I just spotted two things from it last night. I am liking the Greek Xiphos. I might pick it up if I get the chance. I am digging the simplicity and tightness of the design. Perhaps not completely accurate, but after looking at some museum pictures, it isn't so bad.
Maybe I'll name it Sting and fellow forumites and the ghost of J.R.R. will strangle me in my sleep. :O

Those sharp edges on the guard look really uncomfortable, though. Grinding and filing them round would improve both the looks and the handling of it dramatically, I'll wager.

If you do end up getting it, please post a review. I really like the look.

Actually, those are pretty darn accurate historically, considering the price range. Probably the most accurate Greek hoplite swords I've seen yet in the budget range, better than anything Windlass or Deepeeka offers. Quality wise, Pakistani stuff has always been junk, but KoA seems to be confident... time will tell... scabbards of course need some work....

I liked the little dance routine on KoA's Instagram showing off this sword
