Swordtember 2024: Sun
Sister to yesterday's "Moon" prompt, have a Sun blade! Somewhat more sword-like than yesterday's, thanks to the longer handle.
In case someone recognizes the blade-type, yes this was inspired by a weapon from Elden Ring. I gave it a handle to match yesterday's moon sword. My best friend said this design "reminded him of Communist propaganda posters", which he intended as a compliment so there is that.

Canaanite Bronze Sickle Sword - Late Bronze 1400 BC
The Knopesh was the curved sword of choices for the ancient Egyptian. The Knopesh is a sickle sword and while not designed to cut with a push motion, was designed to slash the opponent. The Knopesh was commonly hooked at the end, which actually allowed it to be used to hook and remove an opponents shield in the heat of battle, a useful trait in a weapon, that allowed you to disarm and expose your foe.
