I vote USE. That's what they are made for. I just traded for one and should get it soon. I would like to use it. Although, it may be a looker for awhile. As soon as I pulled the trigger on it, I began to miss my NMFBM almost instantly. But, I'll get another soon. The Gladius is one piece of infi that you can say with confidence that it will stay sharp twice as long as any other infi blade of its size. lol.

But, I wonder how I will get by without batoning. HMMM. Well, I still have the AK and KZ. So, I'll have something to baton if I get the urge.

What the heck would you use a Gladius for. Who knows, but it will be fun trying to find out.
