A shotel is a type of sickle sword characterized by its exceedingly curved, virtually semicircular blade. It has its origins in Abyssinia, but it was commonly used in Egypt by the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty as well.
Description
Similar to swords of the nearby Middle East region, the shotel is single-edged and curved, boasting slashing power at the expense of piercing power. It is distinct among all curved swords with the degree of its curvature which is so radical that it almost forms a semicircle. In this respect, it is similar to the khopesh, but unlike its Egyptian cousin, the blade does not arc forward so sharply, ensuring a seamless, scythe-like blade that bends far beyond the rear of the hilt. While the design is unconventional, it can function as a grappling implement to hook shields and other defenses away from enemies.[1]
