Scimitar Sword – 24" Hand-Forged Curved Blade | 5160 Steel | Rosewood Handle | Forged in Nepal

Channel the spirit of ancient warriors with this 24-Inch Scimitar Sword, a finely hand-forged blade inspired by the iconic curved sabers of Middle Eastern, Persian, and Central Asian history. Used extensively by mounted cavalry and infantry from the 9th century onward, the scimitar became a symbol of power, speed, and devastating cutting force.

At Everest Forge, we bring that legacy to life. This sword is hand-forged in Nepal from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, giving it superior durability and a razor-sharp edge. The sweeping curve of the 24-inch blade allows for fluid, controlled slashing, while the 7-inch full tang rosewood handle offers an ergonomic grip and reliable handling. Water tempered for flexibility and edge retention, this is a fully functional, battle-ready weapon—not a replica.

Whether you're a collector, martial artist, or historical enthusiast, the 24" Scimitar Sword is built for real use and authentic presentation.

Historical Note:

Scimitars were developed to meet the demands of fast-paced mounted combat in the deserts and steppes of the Middle East and Central Asia. Influenced by regional designs such as the Shamshir, Saif, Kilij, and Talwar, these curved blades became legendary for their ability to deliver rapid, devastating slashes with minimal resistance. The design endures to this day for its effectiveness, elegance, and symbolism.
