The Mummy Returns, Egyptian Khopesh sword
original movie prop weapon
A typical khopesh is 50-60cm in length (though smaller examples also exist) and is composed of three main parts: the hilt, a straight and unsharpened section of blade finishing in a curved crescent shape with the sharpened edge. The khopesh evolved from the epsilon or similar crescent shaped axes that were used in warfare. This makes the khopesh not a true sword (which evolved from daggers), but a specialized battle-axe. However, unlike an axe, the khopesh did not make push-cuts, but rather slashes. The khopesh went out of use around 1300BC.
This resin sword was used for the Scorpion King's army and also is the shape of the Scorpion King's sword too. The interior has a metal support to keep it's shape. A little bit of the metal frame can be seen on the other side.
