Gladius: Standard - $50 Engraved - starting at $60
Weight 1lb 10oz (750g)
Gladius: The Roman legionnaires and gladiators used wooden swords in order to practice. One Roman term that it is known by is the Rudis. This was a wood sword that was given to a gladiator to symbolize his freedom from the arena. Our Gladius waster is made out of solid impact grade Hickory and is designed for martial arts usage. The guard and pommel are stained a dark color and the blade is given a coating of boiled linseed oil. This is a solid weapon ready to take on tough training. Victori gladius no longer available.
Engraving Info: When you place the order you will see 'Special Requests'. In this area please type in exactly what you want on the blade. The default font is Buckingham that looks very nice, but many more are possible. Roughly 50 characters will fit on the sword, but more if the font is made a bit smaller. We can also do graphics such as a corporate logo or coat of arms. We prefer a CorelDraw or EPS file, but you can send a WMF, BMP, PSD, JPG, GIF, DWG, TIF, and PCX. Graphics need to be 300dpi or better and larger than the actual engraving for best results. $10 will be added to the cost of the sword per side that you want engraved.
