Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've noticed recently, since having purchased this sword on Amazon, that many sell-from-home sites offer this sword (for generally the same price), but I wish I had paid more attention before buying it. The biggest difference is that on their sites, at least, you get an up close view of the sword and just how big and gaudy it is. A classic scimitar or shamshir is balanced and quite a bit smaller than this. You'd think that the sword maker could have save money on using less material to create the sword and focused more on balance and quality for the same value.
If you are nearly 7' tall and built like a brick house, then this sword might be just about the right proportion to you. If not, then don't waste your time. It's made of cheap Pakistani steel (at least the sword is made in nearly an authenticated place), and resembles those poorly made "Claymore" or Viking Swords you see at re-enactment festivals. One ding from a butter knife, let alone a carbon bladed sword, would have this blade ripped and barbed. Nice wall ornament, but I was looking for practical use in training. At least I won't have to spend anything extra on dumbbells.

This classic saber originated in Persia but was also used in India during the 13th and 14th centuries. The long curved blade was best used for sweeping strokes and piercing gashes. While we are no longer faced with charging duels, the ability to provide replicas to collectors and reenactors is our way of contributing to the preservation of historical events. We feel this Shamshir, or Scimitar, definitely meets any quality standards. One glance at the stainless steel blade, hardwood handle, and brass hilt and pommel, and you're sure to be swept away. Includes top quality sheath. 46 1/2" overall, 34" blade.
