As to the khopesh and kukri association, that seems a little far off to me, provided that a khopesh is curved the opposite direction both the falcata and kukri are curved. The kukri does trace its roots to falcatas though. Shrinking a khopesh would get a curved chopping dagger not a kukri (provided that is exactly what a kukri is except the curves are completely different.

You are correct. I think I assuming the Greek kopis was a descendant of the khopesh when it wasn't.

I knew the falcata and kukri association was correct, thanks for the correction regarding the khopesh.
