Windlass Steelcrafts Roman Pugio And Scabbard - Historical Replica, 1055 High Carbon Steel Blade, Wooden Hilt - Length 19 1/4”

Product Description

Based on remains on display in the British Museum, the Windlass Steelcrafts Roman Pugio is a high-quality, accurate replica. The distinct shape of the Pugio blade was excellent for a close quarters fight and was used throughout the legions. Although swords and knives were generally not worn by civilians within the boundaries of the “Pax Romana”, barbarians and bandits were certainly to be found in the outlands, and a merchant or trader best go armed. No doubt many an old legionnaire must have found it easier to keep his balance with the familiar weight on his hip as he worked his farm in new won territory. The wooden hilt is paired with a fully-tempered, 12 1/4” 1055 high carbon steel blade and it’s 19 1/4” in overall length. The sword comes complete with a wooden scabbard, covered in genuine leather, with brass accents.
