Live Auctioneers has records of four examples of what they describe as an akinakes, "probably Achaemenid."
I've never seen anything like these in art or museum catalogues, but then, I'm not a great scholar. Does anyone happen to be familiar with it?

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
