I like the old design they had slightly more but this one is cool too, very rugged and worn in a good way

Hmm maybe they'll add the other swords from Condor? I would like to see KOA's stat breakdown for those.

I really, really like that. I have no idea how historically accurate it is but most gladii we see are festooned with brass and other stuff, tons of decorative gew gaws which I simply don't care for. This looks like a purpose made soldiers weapon. If it's not accurate, it ought to be.

Wonder how durable the tang is. Never heard of Condor being weak.

Can’t speak of all Condors as I only have the Engineer Bolo and that one including the tang is anything but weak. It’s built as solid as a tank.

I see that the Gladius is now back-ordered. Imagine that. Now, we can wait for a review. |

I always planned on getting a gladius, and I am a big fan of condor. Looks like I know what I want as my first

Kind of looks like a Gladius, the handle and blade shape are close but not right.

Not to knock someone else's work. Its is a nice looking sword, but the is nothing about it that is a MAINZ Gladius.

Well, it's clearly not a messer, a longsword, a rapier, etc... I understand how it isn't historically accurate, but when you have to decide what it looks like the most, I'd have to agree it's a gladius.
I know both Fallen and Rhema can, and have, make better and more historic examples, but I've got to admit, I actually like this version from Condor. I dislike the name-stamp, though, but there's something utilitarian about the look of it I like. I won't be buying it...I might have about $75 worth of like for it, but no where near $175 worth of like!

Yea, I am on the same side of the fence. I would happily own it, but I wouldn't happily buy it

maybe the blade could be removed and the whole thing moved back a bit so the name stamp is hidden in the guard?
but if everything is epoxied in place you would prolly ruin the handle =/ |
