Product description
A beautiful pugio with scabbard by Windlass Steelcrafts, based on an original in the British Museum. The pugio was a dagger that Roman legionaries used for close combat. These types of Roman daggers were not usually worn by civilians, but traders and other travelers did carry a pugio on the road. In this way they could protect themselves against barbarians on the edges of the Roman Empire or against robbers. This pugio has a wooden grip and the scabbard is decorated with brass fittings and rings to hang it on your belt. The blade is made of tempered 1055 carbon steel with a hardness of 48-52 HRC. Perfect for reenactment of a Roman legionary, a Roman costume or for the collector of Roman weapons. When you blunten the pugio, it is suitable for reenactment battles.

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
