Hand-Forged Gladius Sword | 18" Blade | Roman-Style Machete | Leaf Spring Steel | Sharp & Tempered | Bushcraft, Survival & Display

Inspired by the legendary Roman Gladius, this handmade sword brings ancient battlefield power into the modern world. With an 18-inch blade forged from reclaimed 5160 carbon steel (leaf spring of a truck), this Gladius-style blade is both a practical cutting tool and a collector’s piece rich in historical significance.

Used by Roman soldiers as a primary weapon, the Gladius was famed for its effectiveness in close-quarters combat. This modern rendition preserves that legacy—each blade is hand-forged in Nepal using traditional blacksmithing techniques. After forging, the sword is water-tempered for ideal hardness and sharpened to a ready-to-use edge. Whether you're clearing brush, camping, or displaying it as part of your historical blade collection, this Gladius machete performs with strength, balance, and style.

Its ergonomic 6-inch rosewood handle offers comfort and control, while the 800-gram weight ensures excellent striking power. Functional, beautiful, and battle-inspired, it’s a perfect gift for sword collectors, bush crafters, or history enthusiasts.
