Roman Mainz Gladius Sword - Legacy Arms

Our Roman Mainz Gladius Sword, crafted by Legacy Arms, features a high carbon spring steel blade, finely carved wooden grip, and a leather-wrapped wooden scabbard. This version boasts improved handling with a reduced handle radius and redesigned blade length for optimal balance.

The Mainz Gladius was one of the earlier versions of the Roman short sword, characterized by its wasp-waisted blade and long point. This design combined superior cutting power with exceptional stabbing ability. While later versions like the Pompeii pattern emerged, the Mainz Gladius remained in use, with 4th-century Legionnaires often carrying this model alongside newer designs.

Features:

• 20 3/4" high carbon spring steel blade for durability and sharpness
• Finely carved wood guard and handle grip for comfortable wielding
• Leather-wrapped wooden scabbard with stainless steel accents
• Improved handle design for better grip and balance
• High-polished steel spacer at the bottom of the handle for added strength
