Sword with a curved blade (8)

I believe the answer is:

scimitar

(Other definitions for scimitar that I've seen before include "Type of sword with curved blade" , "Double-edged sword" , "one that is very sharp" , "Eastern sword" , "This cut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
