The Greek xiphos is a short, single-edged sword, traditionally used by ancient Greek soldiers, known as hoplites. With its curved blade, the xiphos was designed for swift and efficient slashing in close combat. It was typically worn on the right side, allowing for easy access during battle. The xiphos became an iconic symbol of ancient Greek warfare, often seen in the hands of heroes and warriors in Greek mythology and historical accounts.

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
