Product description

This Greek sword features a striking blade with a central vein, enhancing its visual appeal. The black leather grip ensures a secure hold, while the exclusive circular guard and intricately detailed pommel add to the overall elegance of the weapon.

The Greek xiphos is a short, single-edged sword, traditionally used by ancient Greek soldiers, known as hoplites. With its curved blade, the xiphos was designed for swift and efficient slashing in close combat. It was typically worn on the right side, allowing for easy access during battle. The xiphos became an iconic symbol of ancient Greek warfare, often seen in the hands of heroes and warriors in Greek mythology and historical accounts.
