  First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of Scimitar Hill, 1915
The Battle of Scimitar Hill, which ran alongside the Battle of Hill 60 on 21 August 1915, comprised a last-ditch effort by the Allied force under Mediterranean Commander-in-Chief Sir Ian Hamilton to break north from Anzac Cove and north and east of Suvla Bay, thus linking the 5km distance between the two sectors.
The attack on Scimitar Hill (by British commander Henry de Beauvoir de Lisle) was itself the final British offensive conducted on the Gallipoli Front prior to evacuation in December 1915/January 1916.
By contrast the attempt upon Scimitar Hill by 29th Division initially succeeded in dense fog (which rendered artillery support ineffective) but was ultimately repelled by Turkish fire from the hill's far slopes.

 Scimitar - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The Scimitar (or Sith Infiltrator) was a prototype stealth-ship used as the personal starship of the Sith apprentice, Darth Maul prior to the Invasion of Naboo around 32 BBY.
The Scimitar was an extensively modified version of a Sienar Design Systems prototype for an advanced star courier and was allegedly designed by Raith Sienar himself (though he would later dispute his involvement) for a mysterious client, later revealed to be Darth Sidious.
It is probable that the Scimitar was designed using concepts later used to create the T.I.E. starfighter, judging from its similarity in appearance to the later TIE Fighters of the Galactic Civil War.

 Scimitar   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The scimitar is a middle eastern sword characterized by a broad, curved blade ending in a uniquely upturned point.
While most associate a scimitar with the broad bladed weapons popularized by the Tales of Sinbad, many scimitars were actually rather narrow bladed weapons along the lines of the Indian shamshir or Persian talwar.
The Turkish scimitar is probably the most well-recognized examples of the weapon and the broadest tip of any scimitar style weapon.

 Scimitar Information   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Scimitar is a type of sword, normally with a deeply curved blade with a single cutting edge, though some are known to exist with a blade very shallowly curved.
They can be found in one or two handed variants, with blades ranging in length from around 30" to 36", and the blades, while commonly depicted as being very wide (from cutting edge to the rear of the blade), seem most often have been very thin, very much like the shamshir or talwar swords.
Further, it's possible that the Falchion swords employed in the Middle Ages by Europeans were inspired by the scimitars of the Turks.

 Scimitar Syndrome (PAPVR) - My Child Has - Children's Hospital Boston
In the Scimitar syndrome (approximately 1-3 per 100,000 births), an anomalous vein connects between the pulmonary venous circulation and systemic venous circulation which creates a left-to-right shunt.
