Puigo
Roman dagger, carried by most legionary, many originals are far more ornate than reproductions 

 

Unfortunately, my first Deepeeka Pugio (roman dagger) was beyond crooked. I'm not sure how this got past the quality control (perhaps they don't have any?)  but... seriously, I personally feel this is beyond unacceptable; the blade is off, the handle looks like two round balls, the thing doesn't even fit in the scabbard correctly... this is a complete piece of junk.

My second pugio (the replacement) is better but still not straight and the embossed center line does not fit into the indent on the hilt, the two rivets on the hilt are not even (the one on the right is way off center and too far up... that is just 'rushed' workmanship) lastly... the center rivet is loose so it clicks and ticks; it's being returned as well.
