Last Chance Swords, Knives & Daggers

I I just received mine today,I ordered the 3 day shipping,well worth it.I have other roman swords from this sight and this is the one I like best.My sword weights 2.1 oz, Everthing about the sword is great! I came sharp enough to cut geo. ads-paper.The seath is one of the best I seen , haven':t cut with it yet due to just received it and it"s a christmas presentI For the money I feel this is one of the best looking and made roman swords on the market to day.Rember only cut water bottles,mats and bamboo,safe cutting Ray Blundell

I bought the 1-st edition of this sword years ago; it was unsharpened & had no scabbard; It was excellent; After a lot of use, I had to wind up filling the hollow bone grip with epoxy & that made it most satisfactory
     The reissue is a superb sword that does   well enough at cut & excellently at thrust.  It is one of the best I’ve gotten from MR (as was the 1st)
     It seems very much in line with period swords that I’ve examined & it will not disappoint

This Spiculus gladius easily gets a 5star rating in my opinion.  The overall build is top quality.  The wooden and faux bone handle looks and feels great.. The Windlass blade is very sharp, light, and strong.  Definitely a battle ready piece.  The scabbard is probably one of the nicest ones I own relative to both quality and looks.  I am super happy with this purchase.  I’ve always wanted a gladius sword in my collection and this is probably my favorite already..

This sword is truly a work of art. It is graceful in its appearance, as well in its handling. I own many swords of various styles, and by far this is the best I have held in my hand. At first, I was a little anxious about a single-handed sword being 3 pounds (as most of my other cutters are around 2 pounds)...but the moment I took it out of the box, it felt far less than 3 pounds. (I took it to my scale and it is 3lbs, 0.7oz.) The hilt fittings and nicely polished bright, the bone grip is smooth, and hilt construction is nice and tight. The blade is mirror polished and is well made. The belt and scabbard are well constructed - perfect compliments to this sword. There is not enough praise I can say about this sword. It is absolutely wonderful.

Although it took a while for them to get the order shipped in to them (not really their fault) they didn't charge me until they were sure it was in good condition and shipped out. When it was shipped out, it arrived here extremely quick in less than a week. Not to mention the quality of the sword is pristine and very well made. I'm confident I will love this every time I look at it

True to Museum Replicas word, this Gladius is light weight and easy to handle as well as SHARP. I am not a fan of Nero, but this Gladius IS top notch and will hold up in battle. The Overview of this Gladius is accurate. Of course, my favorite, is the Roman Gladius, my first purchase.

I honestly don’t know what people are complaining about… If you’ve ever handled a dagger from this period, this is exactly in line with the dimensions of those blades. Even handling a dagger from Luristan and other ancient civilizations, the handles are just as small. This is a phenomenal replica, exactly what one would expect from an authentic piece dating back to this time. Highly recommend this piece and as always, the quality by Windlass is phenomenal.

I remember eyeing the catalog pictures 30 years ago and then they stopped making it. I'm so glad it's back! It is stunningly beautiful. Everything fits tightly together (no rattling) and the profile on the blade is as beautiful as I hoped for. The sheath is quite stunning as well - especially the buckles and hardware. No skimping there. Yes the sword is not well balanced - the blade is heavy but it is solid and sharp. If I were to add one improvement it would be to add brass trim at the top of the sheath if for no other reason than to give that classic "klink" sound when the sword goes into the sheath. But the bare leather is cut to fit the cross guard perfectly. I am so glad I have this sword after 30 years of waiting.

I bought this sword from your first run..... It is absolutely beautiful. The prettiest sword of my entire collection.... I am now drooling over the new scabbard and hoping that you might offer the scabbard as a stand alone item to owners of the original run of this wonderful blade. Any chances....!?

I bought this sword the first time MR created it.  I have been giving talks in schools for over 40 years about the "Dark Ages" and have used MR swords.  This sword has always been a great hit with my students, it has a great look, the feel is like an extension of the arm not a dead weight hanging out there.  The students love the look of the hilt and the ridge down the center for armor piercing.  When I pull out my book on the Wallace Collection and show them almost identical sword, they know it isn't some "Hollywood sword" but it is like the "real thing".  That is what I have expected from MR from the days of Hank R. to today.  I know who ever buys this sword will enjoy having in their collection as I do.
