Made from expertly heat treated 1065 carbon steel, it is perfectly balanced and hand honed to a keen edge! The Scimitars large S-guard and tang are intricately engraved and the dark rosewood handle scales are securely held in place with three sturdy brass pins. The bulbous pommel features a brass inlaid hole for a cord, lanyard or sash. The Scimitar is supplied complete with a thick hand stitched leather scabbard with etched steel throat, chape and carrying rings.
