Delve into the pages of history with our finely crafted Gladius Sword, a weapon reminiscent of the primary choice for Ancient Roman foot soldiers. Originating from the Latin term for 'sword', the Gladius has its roots in early Roman designs influenced by Greek weaponry. By the 3rd century BC, Romans began adopting swords inspired by the Celtiberians, resulting in the esteemed gladius hispaniensis, or the Hispanic Sword. Traditionally, soldiers launched javelins to incapacitate enemy shields and formations, paving the way for close combat where the Gladius reigned supreme. Expertly designed, the Gladius was not just for thrusting but also showcased proficiency in cutting and chopping.
Exquisite Craftsmanship: Our Gladius is crafted from Pattern Welded Damascus Steel, a folded carbon steel renowned for its heat-treated hardness. With 11 individual pieces of steel folded five times, this blade boasts a staggering 352 layers.
Optimal Strength and Durability: The blend of hardness and durability is striking, with a Rockwell hardness rating oscillating between 55 and 56 HRC. By incorporating layers of high carbon steel, especially the 1095 steel known for its peak carbon content, this sword promises strength to retain a sharp edge while simultaneously offering flexibility and resilience against impactful collisions.
Handle and Sheath: The handle, made from wood, is accentuated by brass bolsters, giving it an authentic feel. Moreover, a leather sheath accompanies this magnificent weapon, ensuring its protection.
Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.
In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.
Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
Once an item ships, delivery time depends on the shipping method, carrier, and destination. If you need an item by a specific date, contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the timeline is realistic.
In-stock items with no customizations can be returned free within 30 days, as long as they show no signs of use. Returns are handled through our return center.
Items that have any customization (such as engraving or etching) or that show signs of use cannot be returned. Custom and made-to-order items are produced specifically for your order and are not eligible for return.
