Yea, I am more comfortable calling it a shotel, than a khopesh. Shotels don't have that straight blade part, though. A shotel's blade curves right next to the handle. A khopesh has a straight part before it curves, BUT the straight part isn't generally sharpened...

And then there's the question of the edge. Shotels have two edges. A hopesh only has the outer edge. This thing appears to have the inner part as the edge (the lighter parts are the blades on weapons, right? Or am I going full retard right now) so it is technically a sickle... But if that's the case he swings it the wrong way...

"Let's give him a sword." "Lame." "How about a curved sword!" "Yes!"
