All Right. I like the color scheme and the creativity of the idea, if I haven't mentioned that already, but I can see a couple issues.

First off,  the racket seems a bit narrow. Khopesh just don't bend as much as the sides of a tennis racket. I'd suggest adding some form of hinge, either as part of the sword or hidden inside the sword as a separate piece (I put the latter option in my drawing to the right) as well as a hinge of some kind by the base in order to solve that problem and round the racket head.

Two- It looks like you only have a few strings running top to bottom, and that got me thinking, why not just use hardlight for the strings; either all or just a few? Not sure if I'm the first to bring it up, but I can't find the discussion on the weapons thread, so I thought I'd ask.

And finally for now (I'll give you more feedback as I think about more questions to ask) for the hooks, that's almost exactly what I had in mind. One question though- can the hooks retract? Most people used the back hook of the khopesh to hook and manipulate opponent's weapons, so I'm just curious if the little hooks for the strings can retreat into the sword itself when not in use, or if that's something you've considered.
