Stainless steel scimitar, with brass handle and wooden grip. Nice falcon at the hilt. Perfectly balanced for belly dancing. The perfect tribal sword, much cheaper than the Cas Hanwei/Iberia Scimitar, and since it is already dull, you save the dulling service fee of $20.

SWORD DANCING: The addition of a sword to your dance routine can be spectacular. It will add a level of mystique and a touch of danger. Because the sword is a weapon the dancer must remember that the "touch of danger" is very real. Sword dancing is definitely for the advanced dancers. Make sure you buy a sword that is designed for dance from a reputable dealer. Please see the article on sword dancing at this site for more information.
