The Dragon scimitar is the strongest scimitar available, and can only be wielded by members who have at least 60 Attack and who have completed the Monkey Madness quest. It can be bought for 100 000 coins at Daga's Scimitar Smithy on Ape Atoll, though it is advised to buy it at the Grand Exchange instead. Due to the high possibility of being attacked and dying on the island, it is strongly recommended that a greegree be used to make the trip to the stall safely. A monkeyspeak amulet must also be worn in order to purchase it. The dragon scimitar can also be gained by killing a Cockroach soldier, but it is a rare drop from it.

The dragon scimitar has a special attack, Sever, which, along with increasing the user's accuracy for that it, has the chance of rendering the the target unable to use protection prayers for five seconds. This uses 55% of the user's special attack energy. However, this effect doesn't work on NPCs (such as the Kalphite Queen), and is almost useless against them. The special attack is also not very popular amongst players due to its high consumption of the special attack bar and provides no damage bonus. On top of this, it hits somewhat slower than a normal hit from the scimitar.

The Dragon Scimitar is widely regarded as the second best one-handed weapon in the game, behind the Abyssal Whip. Ironically, both of these weapons are criticised because many players feel they have a poor special attack. The scimitar is popular for Strength training, as it has comparable bonuses to the Dragon longsword, but is slightly faster.

As with all Dragon equipment, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.
