About kopis history

“Kopis” a Greek cutting one-handed sword was born by Greek warriors with the sole aim of carving this blade into the helmets and armors of their foes at closed entangles to gain superior power on the opponents and enjoy much more fanfare victories. It was a supplementary weapon as “ Spear” was the primary weapon then at the battlefield. This secondary weapon “kopis” was used when spears become impractical for the front ranks of phalanxes because of its unique short length and powerful thrusts.

About kopis blade & GGK

A lot of hardships thorough periodic researches and endeavors led GGK  proudly to launch this devil’s edge blade “The kopis “ a very historical multi-utility cutting tool. A great endeavor is taken by Purna & GGK team to bring the history to real world.

This “kopis” is a sturdily built blade with different leaps of imagination and practical testings for real functions. Historically "kopis" were large blades and heavyweight. But GGK reproduced it in the light form with all the old ergonomics kept intact with much more easy handling and flexible swirls.The thick blade spine characterized by 2 fullers , forward sloping elongated tip combine to give a powerful thrust and gentle blow for more chopping and hacking power akin to an axe than a sword. The high-end razor-sharp edge a special characteristic of GGK delivers the maximum ability for clean, powerful and perfect hacks.

The kopis

had a single-edged blade that pitched forward towards the point, the edge being concave on the part of the sword nearest the hilt, but swelling to convexity towards the tip. This shape, often termed "re-curved", distributes the weight in such a way that the kopis was capable of delivering a blow with the momentum of an axe, whilst maintaining the long cutting edge of a sword and with some facility to execute a gentle thrust.
