BAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh my gosh that's a flippin' pirate sword.
Based on coolness factor:
ninjas>pirates (Jack Sparrow is the exception)
I'm talking about REAL scimitars, NOT sabres, NOT falchions, NOT cutlasses. REAL SCIMITARS.
Cutlass = pirate, actually similar to a scimitar, but much shorter
Sabre = arabs and western cavalry officers, kind of like a scimitar, but scimitars are actually sharp and have a bit different bend to them, completely different grip/guard/hilt, and scimitars have an actual stabbing point.
Falchion = broadsword that has one edge curve towards the user, more like an axe in use than a sword.
