ΩΩ Review of kingdomofarms.com Mainz Gladius
Like the other two swords from Kingdom of Arms that I have reviewed I really abused and punished this sword, as you will see in the videos. First I cut some wild privet, a very dense wood. Next I cut at a dead pine tree that is 3 to 4 times denser than a Tatami Mat. After that I beat the Mainz against a live pine tree that I need to cut out anyway. This type of southern pine is Very hard. And after all of this the edge took no damage, no nicks and no rolls and the wooden hilt was still tight and true. I do not recommend that you abuse any sword like this but I told Clyde that I was going to be tough on these swords and they have proven to be just that themselves. As I am sure you all know
the Gladius was used primarily as an underhand stabbing weapon and this sword does have a wickedly sharp point as well. I am including a picture of the blade. You can see some marks on the blade but they are not damage and will, I am sure, come off with a little effort. All and all I am calling this a very favorable review. Cheers, Bruce A. Brookhart

Thanks Bruce! And thank you for adding that we do not want anyone putting a sword through this. But it shows how well the KoA line is made.
That sword as well as the Gladius Hispaniensis are in stock!
