Quasi-khopesh short bush sword

I didn't have a khopesh in mind when I began this, but that's the closest existant pattern to what I ended up with. I like the timeless quality of this one; I could equally see it being weilded by Gilgamesh to hew down the cedars or in the hands of one of the "chig" aliens in Space: Above and Beyond.

Forged spring steel, integral socket handle, triple hardened in veggie oil, triple tempered. The back edge of the clip is fully sharpened. Handle wrapped in hmep with cottorn double Turk's head knots all sealed in black shellac. Blade is 12", overall length is 18 1/2".

Thank y'all!

Geoff - I'm not sure how old I was, but probably not far into my teens. It was an interesting show, though I didn't get to see too much of it. The episode where the old soldier got sucked into a black hole was the first significant exposure I had to Johnny Cash's music, although my dad was a fan of his. Stuck in my head and now he's one of my favorite singers.
