 Sticklestad Viking Sword ™
The Battle of Sticklestad was the final battle of St. Olaf. This was traditional warfare, with two hosts meeting face to face.

The Roman Army's approach to warfare was direct and pragmatic. It chose the Gladius as its principal sidearm because the gladius was practical and efficient and excelled in any close combat situation. Later versions of the Roman gladius (like the Pompeii) had a shorter point but were just as effective - and easier to make. This is the sword that conquered most of the known world. The Pompeii has an ash and maple handle with a functional 2" wide high carbon blade. CIRCA 100 Overall-28 inches * Blade-19 inches * Wt.-2 lbs. 6 oz.
