Although there were curved weapons that started from the Indian subcontinent and then gained wide-spread use in the Middle-East and Asia, the exaggerated back-point on the blade shape of what we now call the scimitar is mainly a Victorian-European fantasy. But why quibble over historical accuracy?
My versions are fully fight-worthy, and an awful lot of fun. The blades are 30″ long, and the overall length is about 38″. These also weigh about 2½ pounds each. Some have comfortably long handles to allow for two-handed fighting.
