Also used in the Movie “300”! The Greek Hoplite was a tough, effective citizen-soldier, who made up the bulk of the ancient Greek armies. They were ferocious when defending their homes. The Hoplite would fight viciously amongst themselves, but they were even more fierce in the fight against invaders, like the Persians. When their spears broke, the Hoplite sword came out! This leaf shaped blade was extremely popular and one of the finest throughout the ancient world. It was preferred for cutting and thrusting, having a wide blade surface for sharp cuts and a reinforced point that would enlarge any wound. The solid construction handle, which offers great grip and control, combined with our high quality heat treated steel, results in an EXTREMELY DURABLE sword.
