'''Scimitars''' are the best common one-handed [[Long Blades]]. While you may eventually wish to upgrade to a [[demon blade]] or a [[bastard sword]], you can use a scimitar while you're still waiting to find one.  A scimitar's lower accuracy might make a [[long sword]] preferable for unskilled users, but by the time you reach minimum delay, the scimitar is better.
