High Quality, Extra Durable Foam Sword

Allergy Note: This Product may contain latex

The Romans were no one to be trifled with. Anyone that did trifle with them ended up conquered. Except for the Huns (as in, Attila the Hun), but that doesn’t count because the Romans were already kind of falling apart by the time the Huns got to them. But that’s not really my point, now is it? I actually kind of forgot my point, but this sure is one cool foam sword.

This is a foam version of the Roman Mainz Gladius. It was one of the first swords used by the Romans and was called Mains Gladius because it had a huge mane of hair around the guard. Alright, I made that up. It’s called a Mainz gladius because archeologists found some of these types of roman swords in a place called Mainz, in Germany. But wouldn’t it be cool if the swords really did hav ea mane of hair around them?

This foam sword is extremely durable and perfectly safe. It has the typical Mainz shape to it, meaning it gets a little thinner at the center. This is called a waisted blade (not to be confused with a wasted blade, which is what happens when you scrape mom’s best butterknives on rocks and cement.) (Please don’t try that. Take our word for it. It will end badly for you and the butterknives).

This is a fantastic costume piece, and even better as a pretend-play or interactive-play toy. The soft foam with a padded plastic core is perfectly safe for roughhousing, and the durable construction methods ensure that it will live up to the harshest treatments that children (or adults) can deliver. Great for Live Action Role Playing (LARP) too!
