Is it possible to slice with a Roman short sword?
All mine seems capable of is thrusting and choping like an axe! Is it possible to use a sword like that to preform a slice, like a katan or a saber?
Although the gladius was designed around the thrust, it chops/cuts well.
Most modern copies (especially production, stainless steel wallhangers) are too heavy and poorly balanced.
A gladius cuts very well, but it is not a saber, and it cuts differently. It will, however, slice most satisfactorily, so long as you realize that slicing isn't it's best attribute. A well made and properly balanced one is alive in your hand, and will thrust or cut equally well.
