Knuckle Gladius Dagger – Hand-Forged Tactical Blade with Full Tang and Rosewood Handle

This aggressive and bold Knuckle Gladius Dagger combines the iconic Roman gladius blade with a modernized knuckle guard handle. Built for powerful thrusts and controlled strikes, this hybrid design is both visually intimidating and highly functional — ideal for tactical use, collection, or heavy-duty cutting tasks.

Hand-forged in Nepal from recycled 5160 high carbon leaf spring steel, the 16-inch blade is sharpened, water-tempered, and polished to a sleek finish. The double-edged design and pointed tip give it excellent penetration capabilities, while the widened body provides reliable chopping and slicing power.

The highlight of this piece is its 8-inch full tang handle with a built-in knuckle guard — providing protection and enhanced grip for close-quarters engagement. The handle is made of rich rosewood and secured with heavy-duty rivets for long-lasting performance.

Each dagger comes with a sturdy leather sheath for safe carry and secure storage, making it ready for use right out of the box.
