khopesh

Some of these Khopesh swords were black in colour and came with a full tang.

Note, however, that the khopesh is not an axe.

Ramses II was the first pharaoh to have used the khopesh in warfare.

The khopesh evolved from the epsilon or similar crescent shaped axes that were used in warfare.

Unlike an axe, the khopesh did not make push-cuts, but rather slashes, like a sabre.

His specialty is combat magic and his preferred weapon is a khopesh.

Overwhelmed by everything, Carter heads onto the RV porch to practice with his khopesh.

Horrified, he fought on, concentrating on the khopesh and the bleached arm which held it, and these alone.

The Khopesh was considered to be the best designed sword which could be used as an axe, a sword or a sickle.

Khopesh (Egyptian)

Various pharaohs are depicted with a khopesh, and some have been found in royal graves, such as the two examples found with Tutankhamun.

Carter found himself a new khopesh in The Serpent's Shadow, but again lost it in a fight with a massive hippo demon.

The army of Ramesses II used the Khopesh in the battle of Khandesh.

Set holds off Menshikov and Carter battles the monster, losing his khopesh and getting bitten before Sadie destroys it.

He turned, the baby cradled hi his left arm, only to find that a more frightening phantasm had come up behind him, a grinning, decaying corpse swinging a khopesh.

True bladed weapons appear in the Neolithic with the stone axe, and diversify in shape in the course of the Bronze Age (khopesh/kopis, sword, dagger)

After Sadie distracts Apophis away from him, Carter nearly collapses from the effort of maintaining his shield and battles a criosphinx with his khopesh to no avail.

Crook and Flail: Once he lost his khopesh and wand, Carter used the crook and flail of Ra in a brief fight against Menshikov.

Khopesh: Carter used a khopesh from Brooklyn House, during the Red Pyramid and the first part of the Throne of Fire.

Carter battles the hippo, but loses his khopesh and is nearly crushed in his combat avatar before he finally listens to Setne and casts a spell that summons Hapi, the god of the Nile.

He saw the corpse above him, khopesh raised in triumph for the final stroke, but it dissolved in a shower of bone fragments, rotting meat and dust as Olivier and Gil scored concurrent hits on it.

Carter casts a protection spell on Zia and battles Bloodstained Blade, but is at a disadvantage as he can't summon his avatar on the boat and he is unable to summon his khopesh back to him.

Fighting with shield and sword developed in the Bronze Age; Bladed weapons such as the khopesh appeared in the Middle Bronze Age, and the proper sword in the Late Bronze Age.

Weapons and armor continued to improve after the adoption of bronze: shields were now made from solid wood with a bronze buckle, spears were tipped with a bronze point, and the Khopesh was adopted from Asiatic soldiers.

She allows Carter to keep his father's kit while giving him a new wand and staff as Set destroyed Julius', but tells him to keep his sword which she identifies as a khopesh, the weapon of the pharaoh's guards.
