Republican Delos Gladius with Scabbard / 24-Inch Hand-Forged Roman Sword

The Republican Delos Gladius brings the legacy of ancient Rome into your hands with a fully functional, hand-forged weapon designed for real use. Measuring 24 inches in blade length, this Gladius is forged from tough 5160 leaf spring steel sourced from reclaimed truck suspension — a material prized for its strength, edge retention, and resilience.

Each blade is shaped by skilled blacksmiths using traditional tools and water-tempered for optimal balance and hardness. The rosewood handle offers a secure and natural grip, while the included handmade scabbard ensures safe and elegant storage.

Perfect for reenactors, martial artists, and collectors, this Gladius is not just for display — it's built to perform.
