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.  There are used in Belly dances, movies, stories, and on many flags. Persian Empire Great Scimitar of Horse Warfare has a mirror polished steel blade with a sharp edge.  The guard has a traditional double swirl design and a curved tail pommel.  The handle feature a wood handle with two different colored stains.
