	Shamshir: Sabers of Persia and Mughal India
		Shamshir, which means "curved like the tiger's nail", describes the deeply curved and continuously tapering parabolic saber blade typical of Persia (Iran), Mughal India and the adjoining Arab world from the middle of the 16th century.
		Shamshirs are usually regarded as being optimized for mounted combat at close quarters and such use is supported by period illustrations and writings.
		The lining of shamshir scabbards is often of wood and the covering may be of leather, velvet, metal or a combination thereof.

	Shamshir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sword now called "shamshir" was popularized in Persia by the early 16th century, and had "relatives" in Turkey (the kilic), Mughal India (the talwar), and the adjoining Arabian world (the saif).
		The shamshir was similar in design to its contemporaries, the Indian Talwar and the Saif.
		"Shamshir" is usually taken to be the root of the word scimitar, though the Oxford English Dictionary considers this uncertain.

	Urban Dictionary: shamshir
		A talwar or tulwar is a type of sabre from Mughal India dating back to at least the 17th century.
		In outline it bears a resemblance to the Persian shamshir and the Turkish kilic; however, the blade of a talwar is wider in the ricasso than a shamshir, and will taper less toward the point.
		Like the shamshir, the blades and hilts of the talwar were often very ornate and featured carvings or gilding.

		The sword now called "shamshir" was popularized in Persia by the early 16th century, and had "relatives" in Turkey (the kilic), Mughal India (the talwar), and the adjoining Arabian world (the saif).
		Although the name has been associated by popular etymology with the city of Shamshir (which in turn means "curved like the lion's tail") the word has been used to mean "sword" since ancient times, as attested by the Pahlavi word šmšyl, and the Ancient Greek σαμψήρα (glossed as "foreign sword.")
		Weapons named "shamshir" appear in several video games, including Dark Cloud, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Soul Calibur II, Diablo II, Lineage II, Children of Mana, and Dragon Quest VIII.

		Beautiful examples of Iranian shamshirs (swords) attributed to Iranian kings and rulers are illustrated.
		Included are powerful images of shamshirs without fullers (shamshir attributed to Shah Ismail Safavid), with fullers (shamshir attributed to Shah Safi), highly curved blades (shamshir attributed to Karim Khan Zand), and slightly curved and serrated blades (shamshir attributed to Shah Suleiman Safavid), proving that different styles of swords coexisted with each other.

		It came in a box that was about 38" long, which is shorter than I'm used to when receiving swords, so I was sort of confused as to what it could possibly be...
		The grip is a bit small for my hands, which leads me to speculate that shamshirs were perhaps meant to be used in conjunction with gloves.
		I sliced it off the main body of the pool noodle in one cut, again with such ease that it was frightening.
