🗡️🔥👌

Kind of fun. Definitely not the worst gladius style dagger I have seen.

[@OGBladeReviews]

Would love to see one from your shop, Dirk! 👍🗡️🔥

[@Jonnygurudesigns]

I use your discount code often from White mountain knives, I really really appreciate the savings 🙏 love the reviews too!

Technically they should've called it a "modern puggio" b/c its a bit short for short sword territory but it is a nice dagger.

👍🗡️👍

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

That's awesome! Great video 👍

[@OGBladeReviews]

Thanks for the visit

[@jamesr792]

Just ordered one of these. I’m excited

[@OGBladeReviews]

It's a beast! You'll love it! 👊🗡️👍

[@magritteetmoncouteau]

Hi there, I really appreciate your reviews. Do you think that the retention is sufficient for upside-down carry? And what about the compatibilité with blade-tech or other carry-options?

[@OGBladeReviews]

It's a good crisp release that I would estimate at somewhere between 3:00 and 5 lb pull, but I have no way of measuring that. The Kydex is good and thick and easily reheat formed to make it tighter should you need to so I see no issue in carrying it the way you describe. 👍🗡️👍

[@magritteetmoncouteau]

@@OGBladeReviews thank you alot!

[@mikereese15]

Good for any gladiator or gas station attendee. 😊

[@OGBladeReviews]

Definitely 😂

[@powerplay4real174]

I like it and the others also ,and I think we are being robbed of our Right to carry what we like for whatever reason we choose. Unfortunately we can't carry thisr beautiful dagger knoves in Maryland, we do have fairly good knife law but we should have the same Rights as the good folks down in Texas, 😊

[@OGBladeReviews]

🗡️👍🗡️

[@jamesr792]

California has better knife laws than TX. TX is in no way the gold standard. WY, my state, had the best weapon laws…stuff like, “don’t murder people”

[@Hammer1978]

When did you make a knife for SMKW?

[@OGBladeReviews]

I believe I was reading from the Tops Knives website description of the Modern Gladius. They made the knife from Smoky Mountain's design.

[@Hammer1978]

@@OGBladeReviews that makes sense.

[@palerider7171]

Cool blade shape, like it but not enough to pay $250 retail for a 1095 blade with that level of fit and finish. I will stick with my Ek 44 for about $110ish. Will it stab through a car hood … unknown, maybe, but it didn’t buy it to stab through car hood!

[@OGBladeReviews]

Yep, I get ya, and EK blades are nice! Had a few. 👍🗡️👍

[@trapperscout2046]

They should call it the Pugio instead.

[@OGBladeReviews]

True, a bit shorter than a sword. More people are familiar with the Gladius name, so - marketing! 😆

[@OGBladeReviews]

I'll go with "Ancient Dagger!" 😁

[@w.gordonfocht9671]

excellent commentary, i would go w/ the pig hunter... especially if it was shorter.

[@OGBladeReviews]

I have had that one in my sights! 🗡️👍🗡️ Yes, shorter would be nice 👍

[@Rusonekox9]

Nice but too expensive

[@OGBladeReviews]

[@r.awilliams9815]

Just ordered one, the black coating is going away as soon as it's delivered. I might do a little cleanup of the guard as well, make it look a little nicer. BTW, it's going for $160 or so now.

[@OGBladeReviews]

Congrats! Yes price drops are to be expected.... 👍🗡️

[@JimmyJackJr]

The coating isn't aesthetic

[@OGBladeReviews]

...tell me about it 😎🗡️👍

[@butcrack6786]

This thing is BEGGING for customization

[@OGBladeReviews]

👍🗡️👊
