The Belly Dancing Scimitar from SZCO Supplies is a striking fusion of tradition, artistry, and precision craftsmanship. Rooted in centuries-old shamshir sword designs from the Middle East, this scimitar pays homage to a weapon transformed through the expressive power of modern belly dance. What once symbolized martial discipline has evolved into an extension of the dancer—elegant, poised, and commanding.
This scimitar was crafted in collaboration with contemporary performers to meet the unique demands of live stage use. Balance is the cornerstone of its design. At 34 inches in overall length with a sweeping 27-inch polished stainless steel blade, this sword ensures fluid motion and stability whether perched delicately on a dancer’s head or sweeping through space in a choreographed spin. The blade is unsharpened and features a blunted edge, ensuring performance safety without compromising aesthetic impact.
A 7-inch hardwood handle offers a secure and comfortable grip, while the brass guard and pommel lend a classic elegance that catches the light during movement. The full push tang construction adds structural integrity, giving dancers the confidence needed during performance or ritual. This piece is just as fitting for display and collection as it is for choreography, storytelling, or ceremonial use.
Beyond its visual beauty, this scimitar is a tool for expression. Each detail—from the smooth blade arc to the glinting brass accents—was chosen to elevate performance and reflect the strength behind every controlled movement. The included leather sheath not only preserves the blade but adds a traditional flourish when carried or stored.
Whether you’re preparing for a stage show, a photoshoot, or building a collection of meaningful replicas, the Belly Dancing Scimitar offers more than a striking silhouette. It invites connection to history, to performance, and the fierce grace of the dancer’s spirit. With this blade, you don’t just hold a sword—you carry a story.
