No. most scimitar (like most other curved blades in Europe or Middle East, like falchion or the germanic messer) were singlehanded blades, and therefore quite lightweight - normally between 1kg (2lbs) and 1.3kg (2 1/2lbs) in weight.

In actual use, a heavy sword (or any melee weapon) was a liability, as it would be slower to use, and thus, harder for the user to attack with. A heavy powerful cut is useless, if you're killed before you can make your swing.
