Looking for a quality dancing scimitar

Hi everyone. My wife is a belly dancer and wants to start dancing with a scimitar as a prop. The problem is that most high quality versions I come across are balanced for combat and not for dancing. So far the only one I've found that doesn't look like a toy is from Saroyan Mastercrafts. But I wanted at least a second choice before I bought it.



The level of quality I'm looking for is full-tang carbon steel or high quality stainless and a pommel that doesn't look like it's made from a rejected brass casting. Does anyone know of a company that carries them?

What is the difference in the balance? Heavier pommel?

That looks nice, how is the balance?


Crompsin: The ones made for dancing are balanced in the middle instead of by the pommel, so they can be used like this;
