Scimitar

Scimitars are great slashing weapons, although they could be less effective stabbing weapons. They deal slightly more damage than swords, but less than longswords. Scimitars are a much favoured training weapon against unarmoured opponents, as what it lacks in absolute power, it makes up for in speed. The balance favours a player's Strength being higher than their Attack. They have exactly the same speed as the considerably weaker daggers and two-handed claws, so they are widely used. However, they have less of a defensive bonus than longswords. Their interval is 2.4 seconds.
