When you have been making swords since 1943, even if they do discontinue them frequently, some stand the test of time for years because they are popular and customers have no complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we took some of their new versions (all sharps) and added them to the shield section, and boy do we have some fun blades to look at today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW: Arena Gladius<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Gladius could be just as much a work of art as the blade that conquered the known world, and the new Arena Gladius is a perfect example of form meats function. $250, but no scabbard I am afraid – display direct on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone Grip Gladius<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This one has been around a long, long time – and when you see the combination of wood, real bone grip and the brass scabbard decoration, all for under $300, it’s no wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic Hoplite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another perennial, the Greek Hoplite sword was a weapon of last resort when the spear broke or failed, but it’s fast and deadly leaf shaped blade is not to be underestimated. $225.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcata<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s never been a mass appeal seller, though honestly it should be. Falcata TERRIFIED the Roman legions and a well made one like this is even more effective! Just $225 and includes leather sheathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now some ‘Brutal’ stuff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Norman Mace Walking Stick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where sword canes are illegal, this little beauty will do the job perfectly. It’s stylish and its very appearance is often enough to discourage a would be attacker (whether 2 or 4 legged) to think again.. $70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maciejowski Chopper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s brutal, enigmatic (only appearing in manuscripts, no actual antique has ever been found) and it’s neither sword, axe or pole arm. It’s all three and more. Mysterious and a deep dive topic. $275.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16th Century German Mace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If I was armored up and saw a bunch of guys coming at me with these, I think running away would be the smart course of action. Maces like this 8 flange monster are no joke – and at $150, a must have item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medieval Huntsman Axe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Utilitarian to the core, with a tough American hickory handle and Windlass famous tempering, this is a fun Axe. Just $90 too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SABERS!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The evolution of the sword pretty much ended with the Saber. No sword could deliver quite such a deadly blow from horseback, and they were versatile enough for all manner of combat situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we will start with the earliest ones to the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revolutionary Saber<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Circa 1775. Inspired by the Hussar mounted warriors, the American Revolutionary war saw a lot of action in its time and changed the course of modern history. $200 with scabbard included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1796 British Heavy Cavalry Saber<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Circa 1776. This is a beast of a cutting ‘meat grinder’ of a sword and there’s no neautral feeling. You either love it or you hate it. Its far from refined, just plain old scary.. $370<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napoleonic 1801 Cuirassier Sword<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

25 years of warfare evolution next produced this deadly and attractive Saber, the 1801 Cuirassier – and could be used as a Lance! Highly detailed in every way, $395.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napoleonic Briquet Sword<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These days it is a go t choice for the art of ‘Sabering’ open a bottle of Champagne. And indeed, it was still used this way back in the day, but also as a close in fighting sword or general purpose tool. $270.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANXI Napoleonic Hussar Sword<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The French Hussar Brigades were mobile, striking fast and skirmishing to great effect. This sword was one of their favorite non firearm tools of the trade. $380.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1840 Ames NCO <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stunningly beautiful in every way (just look at that tip) – this sword, which was a status symbol and indicator of rank, is a total bargain at $200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1840 Non Commissioned Sword<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Though $200 was a bargain? Try $170 for this baby.. Just crazy good value for such a complete package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1860 Light Cavalry Union Saber<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Final sword from the selection, and the final bargain at just $185. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
