Marto Scimitar 500822

Discover the fascinating evolution of a legendary weapon with this beautifully crafted scimitar, inspired by the original Persian shamshir, famously known as the “lion’s tail.” This striking blade combines history, artistry, and traditional craftsmanship, making it an impressive choice for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts.

Originating in ancient Persia, the shamshir was renowned for its dramatic, deeply curved blade, designed to deliver powerful draw cuts. This reimagined scimitar builds on the classic design to offer greater versatility, supporting draw cuts, slashes, and precise thrusting techniques.

Expertly forged by Windlass Steelcrafts®, the scimitar features a high carbon steel blade designed for durability and resilience. The robust wood grip provides a comfortable and secure hold, while the steel guard and scabbard fittings add both protection and visual appeal.

Inspired by classic swords from the Hank Reinhardt collection, this scimitar is a striking display piece that blends historical design with timeless craftsmanship. Complete with a matching scabbard, it measures 36 inches overall and features a 30½-inch blade for an impressive balance of reach and handling.
