About this item

  • Embrace the historical significance of the gladius, the preferred sword of Roman legions. This double-edged blade was also favored by gladiators who wielded it in their battles for freedom and survival within the iconic Colosseum arena.
  • Upon achieving freedom in ancient Rome, victorious gladiators were honored with a wooden gladius like this, signifying their hard-won liberation.
  • Experience the legacy of the Roman gladius with our training version, crafted entirely from durable hardwood.
  • Enhancing visual allure, the pommel and guard exhibit a darker hue.
  • Exercise caution if intending to utilize this wooden gladius as a training sword, as the blade, though wooden, features a pointed edge.
  • Overall Length - 27", Blade Length - 20",Blade Width - 1-3/4", Blade Thickness - 5/8", Weight - 12oz


Not only were wooden swords used by Gladiators for training, but if he survived the arena and lived long enough to retire, a symbolic wooden gladius, or rudius, was awarded as a token of discharge and freedom. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

Purchased for one of my kids who enjoys cosplay. The shape and size are perfect, and it seems to be solidly made. From a distance, it looks good. Upon closer inspection, however, it has a rough texture, and the finish looks ragged. I’ll probably have to sand it down and refinish it myself. Still a decent product, but 8 wish they had done a better job of finishing it.

Concept is great, mine had a splintered side and this is a gift for my nephew so now I got sand it down, fix it, and re-stained.

Laser engraved very nicely. Used for a going away gift. Stain on the hilt was not the greatest of qualities but easily fixed.
