The Scimitar

 History

A scimitar  is a backsword with a curved blade, originating in Southwest Asia (Middle East).
The name can be used to refer to almost any West Asian or South Asian sword with a curved blade, and is often thought of as having a ridge near the end. The word "scimitar", known in English since 1548, derived from Middle French "cimeterre" or from Italian "scimitarra", a term of uncertain origin.

Review

It is hard to give a review with no real stats on the general length of the blade, handle, etc, but I feel that these deserve a 7/10 rating. They are often lightweight and can be extremely sharp, allowing for a good combination when zombie hunting.
