Scimitars were used in horse warfare because of their relatively light weight when compared to larger swords and their curved design, good for slashing opponents while riding on a horse. The curved design allowed riders to slash enemies and keep riding without getting stuck as stabbing with straight swords on horseback would. The Sultans Divine Destiny Short Scimitar has a 440 stainless steel blade with a stain finish and honed ready for battle. So sharp it slices through a sheet of paper.  The stained wooden handle is contoured with finger cutouts for a firm hold.  The brass colored zinc aluminum guard and pommel adds a touch of elegance to this piece. Scimitars are also used in Belly dances, movies, stories, and on many flags. This is a must have item.  Dont wait.  Get it while supplies last.
