Line 110:
 
* ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' has also used several curved swords himself, including scimitars, sabers and tulwars ([[Knife Nut|which are wrongly described as long knives]]). He however often stated that he was at his best with a western longsword.
* Averted and played straight in ''[[The Dark Elf Trilogy]]'' and the rest of ''[[The Legend of Drizzt]]''. Drizzt Do'Urden (a dark elf but one of the most morally upright characters in whole series) wields [[Dual-Wielding|twin scimitars]], but so do some of the [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil|other drow.]] Note however that in contrast to the typical drow, [[Defector From Decadence|Zaknafein]] used straight blades.
* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Discworld/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', Victor uses a scimitar in the click ''Sons of the Dessert''. He's not impressed.
{{quote|'''Victor''': I thought swords had to be straight.
