Care to own the sword that conquered most of the known world? Then this is the sword you want to buy.
This gladius is an exceptional sword. Hate to talk about material first, but how can you beat the carved bone grip and polished wood guard and pommel? Light and accurate, the sword also features the classic V-tip that made these swords so good for thrusting. A sturdy rhomboid cross section gives this blade outstanding strength.
We know that it is sometimes difficult to see fine differences in craftsmanship from photos on the Internet, so please believe us when we say this gladius is beautifully crafted. Buy this sword, because you won't be disappointed.
The gladius that this was reproduced from was originally called the Pompeii Gladius. Pompeii being a Roman colony that was known for its art, culture and innovation and was often called a Eutopia. Well, a Eutopia for a little while anyway.
Comes with an ornate leather scabbard mounted with brass accents and double belt loops.
The blade comes with a factory sharpened edge but we also offer the sword with an optional hand sharpening for an even sharper edge. Please contact Strongblade if you would like the sword un-sharpened.
