Description
The Marto Scimitar 500822 is a sword with a deeply curved blade that was originally called a shamshir. It was developed in Persia and was effective for draw cuts but had limited utility. Over time, the blade was modified to be more useful, allowing for both draw cuts and slashes. The point of the blade is also useful for thrusting. The sword is made from high carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts and features a wooden grip and steel guard and scabbard furniture. It is described as a beautiful and romantic sword and is a replica of one from the Hank Reinhardt collection. The sword is 36" long with a 30 1/2" blade that is 1 - 1/8" wide and 3/16" thick. It weighs 1 lb 8 oz and comes with a scabbard.
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.
Blade is quite effective, being able to draw cut as well as slash, and the point is quite useful in the "hooking" thrust often used.
Made from high carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts.
Grip is wood, and the guard and scabbard furniture are steel.
