Scimitar, Middle Eastern Saber Cold Steel

The Cold Steel Scimitar is truly an oriental gem.

Its early blade is deeply curved to facilitate a devastating slash and beautifully polished with a broad, deep point. Crafted from expertly heat treated high carbon 1065 steel, it is perfectly balanced and hand honed to a sharp edge. The large guard and top are intricately engraved. The tuberous apple has a brass inset hole for a rope, cord or belt.
The scimitar comes complete with a thick hand-stitched leather scabbard with an engraved steel throat and carrying rings.
