Wooden gladius, Rubis, 71 cm

Product description

Wooden swords are a great alternative to steel swords for training. They cost less than steel swords. Alternate your training with a wooden weapon a few times a month and your expensive sword will last much longer. Wooden weapons work well for children too. They are ideal for reenactment groups and sword fighting schools teaching people how to sword fight — especially since beginners still handle the sword incorrectly and can unintentionally damage the blade. This wooden gladius is based on original Roman swords from antiquity, used by Roman legionaries or foot soldiers. Made from contrasting light and dark hardwood, this gladius is crafted from steamed beech wood.
