This sword is now available Standard or Fully Tempered!

The Praetorian is our highest end Roman Gladius. With a beautiful high-carbon steel blade, signature V-tip design, stunning polished-hardwood hilt and a blow-your-socks-off gilded sheath, it doesn't get much better. The sword is very similar to our Type III Gladius, but with a killer, praetorian style sheath.

The round Pompeii-style pommel and gaurd on this weapon surround a stylish and comfortable ridged grip made of bone. The blade has a rhomboid cross-section, giving it additional strength, and ends with a sharp-angled "V" perfect for thrusting as the Romans tended to do.

The sheath on this weapon merits a bit of discussion. An ornate, intricate web of brass spreads across the sheath. These designs make this weapon equally as attractive sheathed or drawn.

If you like our Type III gladius and want better materials and a gorgeous sheath, then the Titus III is your sword.

When Strongblade refers to a "Battle Sword," we are referring to most European medieval swords with blades longer than 35” or so. These type of swords included hand-and-a-half swords (sometimes refered to as Bastard Swords) and the big two-handed swords. Real battle swords had blades well in excess of this, and, in fact, a 35" sword was considered a bit skimpy for fighting skirmishes. But for home use and light sparring, a 36" blade is fairly long.
