Lysandros,thanks for giving the measurements.It looks like an interesting sword! Perhaps something you would be interested to know, these swords were not single edged as many believe. They were something like 3/4 edged,since the blade on the top was edged all around like a normal xiphos. This also reduces the weight since the blade becomes thinner in all the edge.
