Overview
Korfu Greek Kopis - Deepeeka
Based on a particularly beautiful 320 B.C. historic original at the National Archaeological Museum at Athens, the Korfu Kopis has a blade that is both classical and elegant in its form, yet hard-hitting and capable of powerful chops and cuts - an iconic Greek sword for the Hoplite Warrior. The grip is fashioned to snugly fit the hand and maximizing contact with the hand and grip from as many surfaces as possible makes it less taxing on the hand to wield the blade and truly allows the full power of the arm and forearm to help power the sword in the strike which ensures that the sword is surprisingly agile and easy to wield. Even though the tip is elongated and widened, it is flattened to ensure it is not too heavy and its shape both aids in cutting into and separating the target as the blade passes through it at speed.
The blade is hand-forged from C60 high carbon steel with a long ridge along the spine to stiffen it which is a design feature common to bronze age and early iron age swords. The sword is robustly constructed with a full tang hilt fashioned from two grip scales of solid copper which are steel-riveted directly to the thick tang for a strong and lasting construction.
Included with the sword is a well-crafted Greek scabbard of wood which is bound in well-stitched leather and completed with brass hanging rings which allow for the bearer to choose whether to opt to wear it at an angle or vertical. A baldric belt is not included.
Please Note: The hand used to model the grip measures 3.5" across the palm and has a length of 7.25" from wrist to end of middle finger.

A very nice replica of the original that is on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens!
The fit and finish is pretty nice given the low price. The bronze scales have a little bit of pitting from the casting, but it doesn’t detract from the look. The scabbard is nicely made. KoA did a good job on the sharpening.
One thing I will point out is that the grip is very small. I wear a large to extra large glove size and the grip is a bit too snug for me.
I do not consider this a big issue, as I bought the Kopis for its historic value. It will mostly serve as a functional display piece instead of a regular backyard cutter.
It is an absolutely beautiful blade, especially for the price. The sharpening was good, thought the very tip was black for some reason. Not really that noticeable.
Just be aware that the handle is fairly heavy. I wasn’t expecting it but I actually like it.
Really nice and incredibly nimble. It looks gorgeous in and out of the sheath and handles incredibly well. Heads up that if you have larger hands the grip will probably be too small. It’s a very snug fit for me and I am a fairly small guy.
A very nice and lovely sword! It feels extremely light in the hand. The grip size doesn’t even bother me all that much. The only thing to nitpick about is the scabbard. While it does reflect the overall design, the lip should be made from bronze or brass, and the chape should be either wood or animal bone, and be designed to drawn with the aid of the shield, but that’s about it.
Absolutely gorgeous! PERFECT CUT-THRUST SWORD!!!!!
