This weapon falls into the Long Blades category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is best used by the dexterous.
Scimitars are the best common one-handed Long Blades. While you may eventually wish to upgrade to a demon blade or a double 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.
Scimitars are also notable for being the type of edged weapon that is easiest to find flame-branded (and therefore useful for safely chopping off hydra heads), as Erica, Azrael, and bottled efreets will always carry flaming scimitars.
