Product information ""Maintz" Roman Gladius Sword"
Another winning Generation 2 design. Most Early versions of the Roman Gladius were wasp waisted with a long point that combined cutting power and stabbing ability in one handy weapon. Early Roman Swords from the first century b.c. display a 'waisting' of the blade to improve balance and a long, narrow point. Even later versions (like the Pompeii pattern) were not waisted and also had a shorter point but were just as effective - and easier to make. Both swords served side-by-side for many years and it was not uncommon to find 4th century Legionnaires carrying either models. The gladius is known as "the sword that conquered the world". It features a full tang construction, high carbon blade, hard wood handle. High polished steel spacer at the bottom of the handle for strength and durability. A leather scabbard is included.

Blade length: 21"
Handle/Hilt length: 8-1/4"
Overall: 29-1/4"
Balance Point: 2-1/2" Below Hilt
Weight: 2-1/2 lbs

Gutes Schwert an sich, aber eher ein romanoides Fantasieschwert: Hohlkehle, Anderthalbhandgriff, moderne Scheide. Die Klinge ist nicht Mainz-Blattförmig sondern eher ein Fulham. Dem Begriff Kurzschwert zum Trotz ist das Ding ganz schön groß und es hat auch Schlagkraft. Gut verarbeitet, sauscharf und stabil ist es auch. Der Griff ist komplett rund, was die Kontrolle über die Schlagausrichtung erschwert. Also keine historische Replika, aber die Zombieapokalypse kann kommen;-)

Wenn man ernsthaft Schwerter sammelt, kommt man natürlich auch nicht an den berühmten römischen Kurzschwerter vorbei. Hatte ursprünglich das Modell "Actium" von VA bestellt, das sicher auch wie gewohnt hochwertig gewesen wäre, aber die Lieferzeit geht dann doch weit über meine Schmerzgrenze hinaus:) Nach kurzer Rücksprache hatte ich mich dann für das Modell Maintz von Gen2 entschieden, welches dann in wenigen Tagen bei mir eintraf. Das Schwert war sehr gut in Zeitungspapier verpackt und die Klinge dick mit Waffenfett konserviert. Nach der Reinigung und genauer Inspektion lässt sich sagen, die Klinge ist absolut makellos, matt poliert und schön scharf geschliffen.Habe bereits mehrere Generation 2 Schwerter und kann sagen, die Qualität stimmt bei dieser Firma. So auch hier: Das Schwert ist solide wie ein Panzer, hier wackelt nichts. Das Modell "Maintz" entspricht den frühen Schwertern der römischen Legion, mit taillierter Klinge und lang gezogener Spitze. Hauptsächlich für den Stoß gedacht, sind jedoch auch Schnitttests mit diesem Schwert möglich (der Verpackungskarton musste gleich dran glauben;) ) Der Runde Holzgriff liegt angenehm in der Hand und das Schwert ist sehr gut ausbalanciert und schnell. Die typische Gen2 Scheide wurde mitgeliefert, in welcher das Schwert zwar schön fest sitzt, allerdings ist die Scheide alles andere als historisch korrekt. Fazit: Wer auf römische Schwerter steht, eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!!!

recht scharf geschliffen, schönes Design, relativ gute Verarbeitung, liegt gut in der Hand. Bewertung aber nur 4 Sterne, da kleinere Macken bzw. ungenaue Verarbeitung an der Parierstange und am Griff. Sind wirklich nur Kleinigkeiten, bin aber ziemlich peniebel.

Sasuke Uchiha Naruto Anime Katana - handforged
Since quite a long time there were only decorative swords on the market matching the Sasuke Katana. But now there is the first real razor sharp handforged Sasuke sword for sale! The blade is polished very sharp so you can do cutting test with your Sasuke Anime Katana sword right now ! Sasuke is one of the top scorers of the ninja apprenticeship school and the top "Genin" (rookie/first-level ninja) of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He is the sole remaining member of the Uchiha clan, a once powerful ninja clan of the village. He is very dark and serious, and is focused on nothing else but training to become a stronger ninja. All of this is for one ultimate goal: revenge. His life's ambition is to grow powerful enough to kill "a certain man" (his older brother Itachi). As part of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke has higher "chakra" (spirit energy/chi). He also has a technique to blow fireballs from his mouth. Also, as one of the Uchiha clan, he inherits the clan's Kekkei Genkai (or bloodline trait)--the Sharingan. He begins to unlock it in the fight with Haku (who himself was using a Kekkei Genkai) and it gradually gains strength as he learns to use it to track movements and observe ninjitsu techniques. It helps having a knucklehead like Naruto as a teammate. He doesn't like Naruto at first, but as they and Sakura learn to work as a team, he shows a surprising willingness to protect Naruto. It's the beginning of a pretty complex teammate/rival relationship, as each watches for the other but at the same time wants to become better than the other. When Sasuke fought Naruto, they each use a powerful jutsu. Naruto use Rasengen and Sasuke uses Chidori. Chidori, also known as Raikiri (Lightning blade), is a jutsu taught to him by Kakashi. *That sword is the one Sasuke carries after he left the Leaf Village to train with Orochimaru, one of the main anatganists of the series. Sasuke seeks to kill his older brother for revenge when Itachi(Sasuke's brother) went insane and murdered the entire Uchiha clan save himself and Sasuke. After two years with Orochimaru, Sasuke killed him when he realized that he had surpassed his master and no longer needed him. After then we see him carrying, but rarely using the sword. Though this is likely due to the fact that we've only seen a little bit of what's happened with Sasuke after he formed a team to help him track down his brother. Details: Overall Length: 101 cm Blade Length: 70 cm Handle Length: 28 cm Weight: 1.2 kg Blade: black Blade Material: Carbon steel hardened Handle: White With Black Stripe Includes Matching Scabbard! This sword is handforged and has a sharp blade.
