Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Gladius – Roman Legion Sword with Brass & Rosewood Handle + Leather Sheath

Step back into the glory of Ancient Rome with this Damascus steel Gladius, the iconic short sword once wielded by Roman foot soldiers and gladiators. Known for its power in close combat, the Gladius excelled at thrusting strikes and spear-breaking precision, making it a feared weapon for centuries.

This modern recreation is hand-forged from a blend of 1095 & 15N20 Damascus steel, folded 400–520 times to create a mesmerizing wave pattern across the blade. Heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 58–60 HRC, the double-edged blade delivers both sharpness and durability.

The handle is crafted from stained rosewood with pure brass and steel inserts, offering strength, elegance, and a secure grip. Completing this masterpiece is a dark brown hand-tooled genuine leather sheath, perfect for storage, transport, or display.
