Overview
Baladay Dervish Scimitar
Please Note: Due to the quality of the leather, the sheath is meant only as protection during shipping, and not as reliable storage upon arrival. We cannot exchange or replace these sheaths. Our price reflects this change.
This Dervish scimitar will easily balance edge-up and is specifically designed for Bellydancing and performance arts. The deep curve of the blade not only gives it a good balance, but also makes it quite visually impressive! The blade is crafted from stainless steel for ease of maintenance and is mirror polished for a vibrant, reflective sheen.
The hilt is brass with a polished wood grip and the sword comes with a leather sheath complete with buttoned retaining straps to keep the sword secured in its sheath when in transport. These swords are tested for balance before shipping.
Please Note: The button strap may be too short and may not clasp.
