What is Shamshir Sword?
Shamshir Sword is a blade weapon of Persian origin. This basic design has expanded from Persia to Asia, and many Southeast Asia have developed its own version of this blade and created a family of similar weapons known together as Scimitary. Some very fine examples of shamshir can be seen on the display in museums dedicated to the history of weapons and swords, for people who are interested in historical weapons, and it is also possible to find decorative and functional replicas for sale.
How would SCimitar family membership suggest that Shamshir Sword has a curved blade. Classically, the blade is relatively straight and even when it is projected from the handle, and develops a distinctive curve around half the blade. The blade point is tapering, making it excellent punching and stinging the weapon and the balance of the sword usually falls directly around the top of the curve.
It seems that these swords were initially developed for the purpose of hunting, as it would seem that the display of early shamshires in action suggested. Combination of straight and curved blades would make it easier to hunt from horses, whichwould allow the riders great control and accuracy. Finally, the blade was also adopted for military use, which allowed the spread of curved design when the Persians met competing armies. Many people connect the design of a curved blade with the Middle East, because it is a region from which Shamshir's sword comes, but some very interesting versions can be found in places like India and the Philippines.
HILT and a cross piece of the classic Shamshir sword are usually relatively simple. Bronze was in ancient times a commonly used material for the cross guard, while the handle was made of bone, corner or wood. The blade vommel is normally compensated to compensate for the curvature of the blade and make the sword more comortvál to grip. As with other artifacts from Islamic cultures, HILTS and the blades of antique shamshirs often have verses of Qu'ran or other religious ornaments.
Rather than worn vertically, as is the case with most straight swords, the shawl's sword was worn horizontally, classic to the left sTransport and often over the waist. The horizontal design made it easy to remove the sword from his housing, allowing people access to their swords quickly when they needed it. The narrow blade is extremely light, which makes it easier to wear style and also very sharp, allowing the user to supply different strokes, stings and cutting blades.
