SALE, take 10% offfor slight irregularity in wood stain handle and some minor scoring in brass. Nothing particularlynoticeable, just doing my due diligence.

Highly recommended by dancers (See Raks al Sayf: Sword Dancing) and nicely balanced for dancing. It has a factory edge for realism but is unsharpened for it\'s intended purpose of dancing, display, cosplay or stage combat. ThanksIlona Marianna, Polish dancer and performance artist in first photo, for permission to use your beautiful photo with scimitar you purchased!Some minor flaws in finish possible, consistent with being handmade in Pakistan, but crafted with care.

The scimitar is a prop that belly dancers often use to demonstrate their flexibility and sense of balance, as well as a beautiful costume piece that mesmerizes the audience. It’s balanced on many parts of the body but most commonly on top of the head.See youtube video ‘How to Use a Sword | Belly Dancing’ by Irina Akulenko
