*** Specifications ***
Overall length: 91.5 cm (36 in)
Blade length: 78 cm (30.7 in)
Blade thickness: 4.5 mm (no distal taper)
Grip length: 9 cm ( 3.5 in)
Point of balance / center of gravity: 20.5 cm (8 in) from the guard
Weight: 744 g (1.64 lbs)
Blade material: Unknown high carbon steel
Hilt assembly: Pinned handle
Price: $211.50 at KoA (as of September 2015)
*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Very light sword with good handling characteristics
+ Sturdy blade
+ Affordable price, good quality for the money
+ Excellent cutter if properly sharpened
- Guard works itself loose due to loose fit, can cause the grip to crack
- Comes with a blunt factory blade, and KoA's sharpening service is underwhelming
- Nitpick: Unappealing, cheap looking lacquer on the guard and scabbard fittings
*** Verdict ***
Considering how much you normally need to spend on functional quality sword reproductions this is a lot of bang for the buck (or rather cut for the coin?). The blade holds up remarkably well to hard use and keeps an edge nicely once it's sharpened properly. The scimitar / shamshir handles pleasantly, being light enough for nimble movements but tip heavy enough for strong cuts.
The only major problem (aside from the blunt standard edge) is the hilt assembly. While the grip would normally be extremely strong due to the pinned construction, the guard should have a tighter fit to avoid working itself loose. After some abusive testing (cutting wood) it had started to wiggle enough to start damaging the wooden handle.
Overall if you don't intend to go crazy with it this is quite a nice sword, and an affordable functional reproduction that I can easily recommend.

Assassin's Creed 4 Hunter Outfit & Pirate Scimitars ( Nassau Combat & Parkour )
Hunter outfit
Requiring a Red Howler monkey pelt and a White Jaguar pelt to be crafted, this is a traditional hunting outfit that considerably reduces an animal's range of detection.
A pair of sharp and devastating scimitars, praised by pirates and privateers from Barbados to Boston.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a 2013 historical action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U in October 2013 and for the PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One in November 2013.
It is the sixth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, a sequel to 2012's Assassin's Creed III's modern story and a prequel to its historical storyline. The story is set in the early 18th century Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, and follows notorious pirate Edward Kenway, grandfather of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton, who stumbles upon the conflict waged by the Assassins and Templars. Unlike previous games, gameplay elements focus more on ship-based exploration in the open world map, while also retaining the series' third-person land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system. Multiplayer also returns, albeit with only land-based modes and settings.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received positive reviews, with critics praising the open world gameplay, side-quests, graphics and naval combat. The story received a mixed response, while criticism fell on aspects of the story missions which were considered repetitive. The game received several awards and nominations, including winning the Spike VGX 2013 award for Best Action Adventure Game. The game will be followed by Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Rogue, set during the French Revolution and Seven Years' War, respectively, with both releasing in late 2014..

Scimitar
A scimitar (/ˈsɪmᵻtər/ or /ˈsɪmᵻtɑːr/) is a backsword or sabre with a curved blade, originating in the Middle East.
The curved sword or "scimitar" was widespread throughout the Middle East from at least the Ottoman period, with early examples dating to Abbasid era (9th century) Khurasan. The type harks back to the makhaira type of antiquity, but the Arabic term saif is probably from the same source as Greek xiphos (the straight, double-edged sword of Greek antiquity). 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 kilij), and the Mughal Empire (the talwar).
Names
The name is thought to be derived from the Persian word shamshēr which literally means “paw claw,” due to its long, curved design. The word has been translated through many languages to end at scimitar. In the Early Middle Ages, the Turkic people of Central Asia came into contact with Middle Eastern civilizations through their shared Islamic faith. Turkic Ghilman slave-soldiers serving under the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates introduced "kilij" type sabers to all of the other Middle Eastern cultures. Previously, Arabs and Persians used straight-bladed swords such as the earlier types of the Arab saif, takoba and kaskara.

*** Specifications ***
Overall length: 91.5 cm (36 in)
Blade length: 78 cm (30.7 in)
Blade thickness: 4.5 mm (no distal taper)
Grip length: 9 cm ( 3.5 in)
Point of balance / center of gravity: 20.5 cm (8 in) from the guard
Weight: 744 g (1.64 lbs)
Blade material: Unknown high carbon steel
Hilt assembly: Pinned handle
Price: $211.50 at KoA (as of September 2015)
*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Very light sword with good handling characteristics
+ Sturdy blade
+ Affordable price, good quality for the money
+ Excellent cutter if properly sharpened
- Guard works itself loose due to loose fit, can cause the grip to crack
- Comes with a blunt factory blade, and KoA's sharpening service is underwhelming
- Nitpick: Unappealing, cheap looking lacquer on the guard and scabbard fittings
*** Verdict ***
Considering how much you normally need to spend on functional quality sword reproductions this is a lot of bang for the buck (or rather cut for the coin?). The blade holds up remarkably well to hard use and keeps an edge nicely once it's sharpened properly. The scimitar / shamshir handles pleasantly, being light enough for nimble movements but tip heavy enough for strong cuts.
The only major problem (aside from the blunt standard edge) is the hilt assembly. While the grip would normally be extremely strong due to the pinned construction, the guard should have a tighter fit to avoid working itself loose. After some abusive testing (cutting wood) it had started to wiggle enough to start damaging the wooden handle.
Overall if you don't intend to go crazy with it this is quite a nice sword, and an affordable functional reproduction that I can easily recommend.

Grip length: 9 cm ( 3.5 in)
Point of balance / center of gravity: 20.5 cm (8 in) from the guard
Weight: 744 g (1.64 lbs)
Blade material: Unknown high carbon steel
Hilt assembly: Pinned handle
Price: $211.50 at KoA (as of September 2015)
*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Very light sword with good handling characteristics
+ Sturdy blade
+ Affordable price, good quality for the money
+ Excellent cutter if properly sharpened
- Guard works itself loose due to loose fit, can cause the grip to crack
- Comes with a blunt factory blade, and KoA's sharpening service is underwhelming
- Nitpick: Unappealing, cheap looking lacquer on the guard and scabbard fittings
*** Verdict ***
Considering how much you normally need to spend on functional quality sword reproductions this is a lot of bang for the buck (or rather cut for the coin?). The blade holds up remarkably well to hard use and keeps an edge nicely once it's sharpened properly. The scimitar / shamshir handles pleasantly, being light enough for nimble movements but tip heavy enough for strong cuts.
The only major problem (aside from the blunt standard edge) is the hilt assembly. While the grip would normally be extremely strong due to the pinned construction, the guard should have a tighter fit to avoid working itself loose. After some abusive testing (cutting wood) it had started to wiggle enough to start damaging the wooden handle.
Overall if you don't intend to go crazy with it this is quite a nice sword, and an affordable functional reproduction that I can easily recommend.

Assassin's Creed 4 Hunter Outfit & Pirate Scimitars ( Nassau Combat & Parkour )
Hunter outfit
Requiring a Red Howler monkey pelt and a White Jaguar pelt to be crafted, this is a traditional hunting outfit that considerably reduces an animal's range of detection.
A pair of sharp and devastating scimitars, praised by pirates and privateers from Barbados to Boston.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a 2013 historical action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U in October 2013 and for the PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One in November 2013.
It is the sixth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, a sequel to 2012's Assassin's Creed III's modern story and a prequel to its historical storyline. The story is set in the early 18th century Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, and follows notorious pirate Edward Kenway, grandfather of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton, who stumbles upon the conflict waged by the Assassins and Templars. Unlike previous games, gameplay elements focus more on ship-based exploration in the open world map, while also retaining the series' third-person land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system. Multiplayer also returns, albeit with only land-based modes and settings.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received positive reviews, with critics praising the open world gameplay, side-quests, graphics and naval combat. The story received a mixed response, while criticism fell on aspects of the story missions which were considered repetitive. The game received several awards and nominations, including winning the Spike VGX 2013 award for Best Action Adventure Game. The game will be followed by Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Rogue, set during the French Revolution and Seven Years' War, respectively, with both releasing in late 2014..
