The cutting edge was forged in the cold, as in the originals of the era.
Linings are made of iron as a copy of Dodona ... unless .... dating to 5 BC
Riveted with iron rivets.
Overall length 62.5 cm, 48.5 cm blade, blade width at its widest point 5.4 cm, weight 1020 grams.
Length of kopis in scrabbard 66.5 cm.
