00:00Why was this weapon nicknamed the peasant's sword?
00:04The weapon's name, kopis, is Greek and means cutter because its curved blade resembles
00:10a sickle.
00:11That is, the curve of the blade imitates the curve of a sickle, which is an agricultural
00:15tool farmers use to harvest crops before Greek blacksmiths remade it and named it kopis.
00:22The weight in its blade near its front tip caused a simple harvesting strike to cut deeply
00:27with less effort than a sickle.
00:29Therefore, the design most likely originated from the farmer's sickle, not from the making
00:34of kings.
00:35However, its agricultural origin remained attached to it.
00:39It was nicknamed the peasant's sword because it was initially an agricultural tool carried
00:43by farmers.
00:44It was nicknamed the peasant's sword and the henry's sword.
00:44It was a nightmare.
