The Machaera has sprung from a unique blend of influences. Peter wanted to create a sword that was the polar opposite of the Longsword.The result is “a dynamic piece with intricate detail and sweeping curves”. It is partly inspired by an ancient Greek sword called the Machaera (Makhaira), the forerunner of the modern Kukhri, but with unusual features not found in historical swords.Source: Copyright 2014 © Weta Workshop -- source link
