Caesar Gladius Royal G2

Due to high demand for unique, high-quality Roman swords made of carbon steel at a great value, we are now offering you the Caesar Gladius Royal, custom made just for you. Perfect for the discerning collector of high quality Roman Swords as well as for Roman Soldier costumes!

Our Caesar Gladius Royal is a fully functional Roman sword made with a high-carbon steel blade (the best type) and one of the prettiest hilts (handles) we could think of. Hilt is made of quality dark hardwood with rich stain, high gloss, and large brass rings and fittings. Very comfortable to hold, especially for larger hands. The blade has the characteristic straight sides and powerful diamond shape point. Photos do not do these Roman swords justice.

Exclusively made for Real Armor of God!!

This Roman sword is being privately manufactured for us by one of the best sword companies available. We are now taking pre-orders for our first production cycle due to arrive in June-July 2008. Only 50 swords will be made in this cycle so get in line fast by placing your order today.

Each blade is hand forged from new 5160 or 10/60 carbon steel for strength and beautiful lines, and individually finished to endure tight fitting handles and a fabulous finish. (Look closely to see the hammer marks from hand forging.) Sharp blade, full-tang.

Blade length 22 inches
Blade Width 2-1/2 inches (very wide!)
Handle/Hilt length 8 inches
Overall 29 1/4 inches

A beautiful hard scabbard is included free of charge. This scabbard is outstanding with a leather wrapped wood frame and brass fittings (including the 4 traditional baldric rings)... all for Free!

Note: This sword design is still being finalized. Minor changes being considered include adding brass strips to the scabbard for each pair of baldric rings. Photo is of the prototype (tip angles of the blade and blade thickness will be greater than shown above).

Sword Cleaning Instructions Regular use of sword cleaning kits to maintain high carbon steel swords helps prevent deterioration. (Initial cleaning of this sword is needed to remove protective coating.)

Manufacturers Note: Blades made of 3/16-inch tempered steel are designed to be slightly more ridged than thin spring steel blades (whippy blades) from other manufacturers. This is not a defect, but by design to allow for a difference in blade control during swordplay, etc. (All testing is a buyer liability.) Use Linseed Oil to keep wood hilt from drying. If hilt is slightly loose, we suggest using Wood Swell and or Guerrilla Glue to tighten and secure the hilt. Some hilts may need initial care to tighten.
