I really enjoy it. I have used it for Tameshigiri and the Mainz design actually cuts quite well. Obviously it is not as robust as a Katana or larger sword, but it does very well for its size. I also understand that the Gladius was more of a thrust weapon, but the Mainz still has enough wasting to cut. On the thrusting side, it slides right into a target with ease. :-) )
