Praetorian Roman Maintz PV

Functional Swords / Battle Ready Swords

This magnificent Praetorian Roman Maintz is one of our favorites. Of course it has the classic wasp-waisted blade, but no other Roman sword looks this good! Made from high-carbon steel, the leaf shaped blade is 19 and 3/4 inches long, sharp and hand hammer forged. The hardwood handle is accented with brass spacers for an incredible affect. This is truly a must have sword for any Roman sword enthusiast. Perfect for full contact use (sharp blade).

Best Value & Quality

A full length genuine leather scabbard is included free of charge.

Manufacturer’s Note: These battle ready swords are made of thick high-carbon spring steel. Typically sheets of steel are measured for thickness and assigned a gauge rating (10 gauge, 12, 14, 18). The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel and strength of the blade. Because of the hand forging, the “gauge” of these blades will often range between 1/4 inch thick to 3/16 inch thick at the hand guard (or estimated between 10 gauge and 14 gauge).

Sword Cleaning Instructions Regular use of sword cleaning kits to maintain high carbon steel swords helps prevent deterioration. (Initial cleaning of this sword is needed to remove protective coating.)
