Large Broad Scimitar Saber — Hand-Forged 27-Inch Curved Blade
The Large Broad Scimitar Sword is a hand-forged Middle Eastern scimitar saber — a long, broad, deep-bellied curved blade built for real cutting and serious display. Forged in Nepal from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, full tang and oil-tempered, it runs 27 inches of blade as standard (custom up to 36 inches) with a brass guard and pommel on an 8-inch rosewood grip. At around 1.1 kg it is the heavy hitter of the curved-blade family: substantial in the hand, with the reach and presence of a true cavalry saber.
This is a functional scimitar saber, not a light wall-hanger. The broad blade carries its mass toward a sweeping clip point for authority through the cut, while the brass furniture and hand-stitched leather scabbard give it the look of a piece carried with pride. Every blade is forged to order in your chosen length, finish, handle, and engraving.
Rated 5 stars across 5 verified customer reviewsAn honest note. This is a heritage piece — a hand-forged interpretation inspired by the curved sabers carried historically across the Middle East and Central Asia. We build it as the craft object it is, for collectors, cutters, and curved-blade enthusiasts, and we frame it that way rather than as an instrument of harm. What we care about is the steel, the broad profile, and the balance.

Configure Yours Above →Is a Scimitar a Saber?
A scimitar is a type of saber — both are curved, single-edged swords built for the draw cut. "Saber" is the broad family of curved cavalry swords; the scimitar is the Middle Eastern and Persian branch of that family, defined by its deeper curve and Eastern fittings. So a Middle Eastern scimitar saber like this one is, accurately, a curved Eastern saber: the sweeping profile of a scimitar with the reach and cutting authority of a full saber. It differs from a European cavalry saber mainly in the depth of the curve, the breadth of the blade, and the Eastern brass-and-rosewood furniture.

Is a scimitar a saber?
Yes. A scimitar is a type of saber. Saber is the broad family of curved single-edged swords, and the scimitar is the Middle Eastern and Persian branch, defined by its deeper curve and Eastern fittings. This Large Broad Scimitar Saber is accurately a curved Eastern saber, combining the sweeping scimitar profile with the reach and cutting authority of a full saber.
What is a scimitar saber, or Middle Eastern saber?
A scimitar saber, sometimes called a Middle Eastern saber, is a curved single-edged sword from the Middle East, Persia, and Central Asia. It pairs a deep, broad curve with brass and rosewood furniture, and was carried historically as a cavalry blade. This one is a large, broad interpretation forged in 5160 spring steel.
How big and heavy is this scimitar?
It is a large, broad blade. The standard size is a 27-inch blade with a total length of about 35 inches, weighing around 1.1 kg. The blade is noticeably wider and heavier than a slim saber, which gives it real cutting mass. You can order it from 18 up to 36 inches.
Is this a real, functional sword?
Yes. This is a real, fully functional scimitar saber, not a cast wall-hanger. It is hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, given a full tang, oil-tempered, and sharpened to a true cutting edge before it ships. It is built to be handled and cut with, and finished cleanly enough to display.
Can I customize the blade length?
Yes. The standard blade is 27 inches, and you can order it from a compact 18 inches up to a long 36 inches. You can also choose the blade finish, handle material, scabbard colour, and add engraving. Every sword is forged to the spec you select.
What steel is it, and is it oil-tempered?
The blade is forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, the same alloy used in heavy-duty truck leaf springs, prized for toughness and edge retention. It is oil-tempered for a hard cutting edge backed by a flexible, shock-absorbent spine.
What are the guard and pommel made of?
The guard and pommel are solid brass, fitted to an 8-inch rosewood handle. The brass furniture is the classic Eastern saber styling and gives the sword a balanced, substantial feel in the hand. The handle is fitted by hand for a secure grip.
What handle and scabbard options are there?
The standard handle is 8-inch rosewood, and you can choose white-wood or buffalo horn instead. The hand-stitched leather scabbard comes in six colours: black, brown, yellow, red, green, or blue. Every handle is fitted by hand for a secure grip.
Can I add a name or engraving?
Yes. You can add a name, initials, or a short message to the blade, and you can upload your own logo or photo for custom engraving. Personalized blades are forged to order, so please confirm the details before you buy.
Is the sword sharpened on arrival?
Yes. Every blade is sharpened to a true cutting edge before it leaves the forge unless you request otherwise. It arrives ready to handle, cut, or display.
Do you ship worldwide, and how long does it take?
Yes. We ship worldwide from Nepal by DHL or FedEx in 7 to 14 business days with tracking. In-stock specs dispatch within 2 to 3 business days; fully custom builds take roughly 4 to 6 weeks to forge first. Import and blade laws vary by country, so please check your local rules before ordering.
What does the word scimitar mean?
Scimitar is the Western term for the family of curved, single-edged swords carried historically across the Middle East, Persia, North Africa, and South Asia. It is not one specific sword but a group that includes the shamshir, kilij, saif, and talwar. The defining feature is the curved blade built for a slicing draw cut.
