Ignatius

Inspired by the iconic Roman Mainz Gladius, the Ignatius is Dawson’s modern tribute to Ignatius of Antioch—whose final journey gave us the enduring words, “Nearness to the sword is nearness to God.” This limited-edition blade blends historic Roman geometry with Dawson’s elite craftsmanship, delivering a commanding profile, a decisive point, and heirloom-level fit and finish. More than a weapon, the Ignatius is a legacy piece—crafted for collectors who value precision, history, and purpose woven into steel. Ignatius is the first in a series of reimagined artifacts released in collaboration with Wesley Huff, titled; Apologia. This collection is a series of reimagined artifacts of the time the early fathers of the church walked the earth. Preorder - ships in about 6 weeks
