Details
Latin for "sword" the gladius was one of the primary weapons of Roman legionary or foot soldiers. This devastatingly effective weapon is adapted by Cold Steel into a highly functional double edge machete. Black coated 1055 carbon steel pairs with durable polypropylene for a rugged outdoor tool that requires minimal maintenance while the blunt tip enhances safety during use.
Brand new, direct from Cold Steel.
Blade: The carbon steel is equipped with a matte black coating to prevent rust. The long, flat blade offers effective chopping in both directions for efficient brush clearing, or you can optimize each edge for different materials.
Handle: A micro-textured polypropylene handle grip has a large pommel end that enhances chopping leverage while ridges and a large forward guard ensures safety during use. The synthetic material encapsulates the tang of the blade and delivers a durable and weatherproof option that holds up under the most extreme use. A generous hole is provided for lanyard attachment for added security.
Sheath: Cor-Ex design has reinforced end to protect the tip of the blade and solid rivet construction on the sides. Single nylon strap closure snaps closed for retention. Designed for belt carry with a sewn-on Nylon webbing loop.
