Scimitar
A scimitar is a backsword or sabre with a curved blade, originating in Southwest Asia. The Arabic term saif translates to "sword" in general, but is normally taken to refer to the scimitar type of curved backsword in particular. The curved sword or "scimitar" was widespread throughout the Muslim world from at least the Ottoman period, with early examples dating to Abbasid era Khurasan. The type harks back to the makhaira type of antiquity, but the Arabic term saif is a loan from Greek xiphos. The Persian sword now called "shamshir" appears by the 12th century and was popularized in Persia by the early 16th century, and had "relatives" in Turkey, the Mughal Empire.
