This scimitar was specifically designed for use in belly dance, combining the characteristic look of an Oriental saber with the requirements of an impressive dance performance. It is also well-suited for historical reenactment, period portrayals, and Oriental-inspired shows.

The term "scimitar" refers to a family of various, typically significantly curved sabers, most commonly associated with the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. The signature curved blade remains a defining element of Oriental weapon aesthetics to this day.

The sweeping blade and the classic silhouette of the scimitar lend this dance sword a striking, Oriental aesthetic. It creates a highly effective visual impact during movement and spins—making it ideal for sword-based belly dance, stage shows, and other performances.

Whether as part of an elaborate belly dance choreography, a prop for a historical reenactment, or a decorative collector’s item, this scimitar blends Oriental flair with versatile functionality.

Please note:

This item is sold only to persons over the age of 18.

The steel used here is not stainless and may occasionally show slight signs of corrosion. We recommend maintaining the blade regularly—for example, by using Ballistol, a multipurpose oil that is excellent for the care of steel items.
