Machete Gladius

The Machete Gladius is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The wide blade at the head with an indentation into the blade towards the hilt is designed to give more weight to the head of the blade, allowing for more momentum with slashes. Like a machete it does bonus limb damage. In game it is called a Machete Gladius.

Locations
This weapon can be found on legion soldiers through out Cottonwood Cove and Fortification Hill.

Behind the scenes

 * The sword is historically called a makhaira, notable variants include the kukri, xiphos and falcata. None of which were officially wielded by the Roman legions, but instead by their enemies. What is also odd is the Gladius is a straight blade designed primarily to be used as a stabbing weapon while this is obviously intended for slashing.
 * "Gladius" is the Latin word for "sword".
