Sharpe’s Bizarre Blade Bazaar Item #342b: “The Scimitar of Skirmishes”
Price: 1,191 sols

This scimitar, traded in by a traveler from the deserts of Aïbun, has the miraculous property of being able to duplicate itself a hundred times over! Simply speak the command word (included with purchase) and hand the blade to another, and a duplicate will be created when they pass it on. A legion of 100 troops can be armed in this manner all but instantly, with each equipped with a high-quality damascene scimitar of fantastic sharpness and battle.

Billao’s Note:
Yeah, the daughter scimitars only last for one minute after the first clash of steel in the area. I guess you could make it work if it was a really quick battle, but I think this might have been meant as a way to quietly assassinate someone who’d be totally defenseless after a minute of battle.
