    Viking swords were among the most effective ever made.

    Sardinian "Leppa" (plural "Leppas"), it's a traditional curved dagger / sword (long from 50 to 80cm) carried by every Sardinian man until early XXth century. The name Leppa comes from the Greek "λέπος" (lépos = metal foil, leaf); the same English word "Leaf" has the same etymology : Lépos -> Leaf -> Leppa















    With the term Leppa is also erroneously known a traditional Sardinian knife (because of the leaf shaped blade), known in Sardinian language as Resolza / Resorza / Resorja (Latin "Rasorium = Razor"), see below.

    The Egyptian name "Khopesh" arrived in Europe via ancient Greece, that adopted a similar weapon named "Kopis" (see below); from this name derives the verb κόπτω (kòpto = to hit, to damage, to cut), which gave origin to vulgar Latin "cuppare = to behead", to the French "couper = to cut", to Sardinian "cuppare = to cut in half", and also to the English "to chop = to cut with a quick blow".
