[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [QB] I believe that it was a misconception that the shotel was related to the kopesh, however there is no true connection. I read that the kopesh is a modified Axe, similar to the ngulu posted above, some people try to say that the Aegyptians arrived at that model after seeing how effective Asiatic curved blades were, then again to the contrary I've also read that it was a tool then modified for battle. The kopesh has dual functions similar to the mambele, which is to slash and disarm ...most koshesh have a dull posterior at the head of the blade and some by the base to bludgeon or work as a hammer. It isn't fully known if some kopesh depicted w/o an embroidered hilt (or lacks one completely) were used as throwing weapons [/QB][/QUOTE]
