A
Rudis was a gift to a gladiator for a special achievement. This signified his
release from a slave to a freeman. Our Rudis is an excellent and unique give
for someone who has completed service in the military, retired, or completed an
academic achievement.
Made in the USA, This is our upgrade rudis. Historically they had an ivory handle. We don't do ivory, but we left the handle with a finished white wooden handle for a beautiful contrast. The handle is not octagon for a very historic look.
We can engrave a
corporate logo, military insignia, and/or text in a variety of fonts.
