Persian Scimitar, circa 1700
The original scimitar was called a shamshir, (which meant "lion's tail") and had a deeply curved blade that was almost a half-circle. Developed in Persia, this type of blade was effective for draw cuts, but other than that, of limited utility. This caused the blade to shift its shape into a more useful version, which we have chosen to copy. More information...
