Cold Steel Gladius Machete
Derived from the sword used by Celtic tribes of ancient Iberia (Spain) and
adopted by the Roman Legions, the Gladius, with its long, narrow point and
wasp waisted blade, was the scourge of the battlefield and often the last
thing seen or felt by Rome's enemies.
Ever popular, the Gladius is still in demand almost 2000 years later and is
one of our most frequently requested swords to make, so we have decided to
offer a modern version of this ancient classic in a very affordable
machete/sword format.
Made from 1055 Carbon steel and hand sharpened to a murderous point and
wicked edge, it offers 19" of unprecedented piercing and slashing power at a
bargain price.
Sporting an extra wide, full tang for strength and a classically inspired
handle, it offers the standard guard and ball shaped pommel of years gone
by. Made of high impact Polyproplylne, it's impervious to the elements,
rugged beyond belief and most importantly, comes compete with a sturdy
cordura sheath and belt loop.
