Overview
Windlass - Persian Scimitar
The Windlass Persian Scimitar is updated here with better, higher carbon steel over its original for improved overall performance. This scimitar is a recreation of this iconic shamshir sword of the Middle East - this saber is not only light and nimble, but the curved blade is optimized for decisively deep cutting and quick slashes and in skilled hands the sword is a surprisingly capable piercing weapon which can strike its target at unpredictable angles. The blade is forged from well tempered 1075 high carbon steel and the hilt has a comfortable grip of well-polished wood with an enlarged pommel which neatly couches against the back of the hand for a sure grip. The crossguard is made from metal with an antiqued silvered appearance finish and the blade tang is dual-riveted into the grip for a solid overall construction.
Included with the sword is a scabbard of durable black leather with matching antiqued silvered metal fittings and hanging rings for wear.
