Finally, our wooden Gladius is back! This is the strong Hickory sparring version, not to be confused with the beautiful Awards Rudis.

There is ample evidence throughout history of fighers using a wooden sword for training. This prevented damage to more expensive steel or bronze swords. In Roman times there are descriptions of the soldiers training against each other or against pells.

See Sizing tab for more information.

4 of 5 Awesome Gladius July 28, 2020
Reviewer: Joshua Scheele from Watertown, WI United States  
I bought two gladiuses for my friend and I to spar with. The blades and handles are very solid pieces. However, my hilt broke after a few direct hits but my friend's hilt is still holding up very well. These gladiuses are still great practice swords, perhaps the best that I have had so far and plan to be back for more in the future.
