5000 Years Old Khopesh

hey there you might be wondering why i am forging the edge now after the blade is already shaved and the reason is that copper and copper alloys like this bronze can be work hardened meaning the hammering is actually strengthening and stiffening the metal making it a better cutting edge now i don't intend this piece to be functional but i still like the idea of properly treating the material as it would have been done in ancient times and interestingly enough in ancient Egypt this world weren't just used for combat there have been plenty of ceremonial khopesh swords found buried with farones is an example of a trend that continues to this day where the powerful and ultra wealthy have incredible works of art that will never see the light of day and for the minerals of the world art is not just a collectible it's an investment some of the numbers are staggering The Rockefellers sold off their private collection for over $830 million; Opera flipped the Gustav-claimed piece for over $60 million in profit; and even Jeff Bezos is getting on it, spending just over $70 million on just two paintings, surely anticipating selling them in the future. It would be nice to get a piece of that right now. Thanks to Masterworks, anyone can invest in paintings by legends like Picasso and Bansky.
