David,I also thought that the kopis was meant to be heavier near the top of the blade,but believe it or not,they weren't!It was the shape that made it devastating and not the weight.Measurments from different ancient pieces shoed that the point of balance was exactly at the cross point!And this is the case both for the leaf shaped xiphos and the kopis.
