There is a (significant) difference in shape between the Kopis and the Falcata, the Kopis being a Greek sword with far less curvature then the falcata, which is mainly Italian and Iberian. The Falcata is well known in a Iberian context and has been extensively documented. The Kopis has a different handle and does not wrap around the hand as far as the falcata does. It seems the guard is more spikelike.
