## Description

The Cold Steel Gladius Machete remains one of the most popular models in our hybrid sword / machete series. It’s made from spring tempered 1055 Carbon steel and hand sharpened at our facility in Ventura, California. The Gladius Machete features the classic guard and ball shaped pommel of years gone by, but with the added strength and durability found with full-tang construction and modern materials. We use high-impact Polypropylene for our handle, making it almost impervious to the elements and rugged beyond belief. The Gladius Machete comes complete with a sturdy Cor-Exª sheath and belt loop for easy of carry and use.

Review: Good price, good item - It came sharp. despite my fears due to other reviews, the gladius is sharp, clean, and required nothing more than some light deburring with a knife sharpener to make it an extremely lethal, battle ready, one-handed, short sword. I love the weight, feel, and grip. Awesome sword for a great price, very sturdy. It's overall length is equal to my katana, so it's a bit longer than I expected ( that's a good thing) I thought it was going to be another hatchet grade long knife, but it's so much more! Pair it with a targon shield from cold steel for defense and you're set in that department lol
Review: Definitely worth it! - Perfect quality & beautiful blade!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why can't you ship it to my PO Box address in Virginia? There have been bad feedbacks about the edge and point quality on these--can you check pre-sh?**
A: Most likely, they ship it by UPS or FedEx, neither of which will take packages to leave at a Post Office Box.  As far as the blade, it is made of 1055 high carbon steel, which is able to withstand battle conditions against other swords, which I hope you never do, for you would probably lose.  These are deadly sharp weapons, not toys for the boys.

**Q: Can I mount a tactical laser/light combo on this?**
A: You can use a aftermarket mount to attach the laser/tactical light. I personally think the tactical light mounted along with a drone shooting lasers would be a winner

**Q: does come a sheath**
A: y e s

**Q: Is this a full tnag design, or is the handle bolted on to the blade?**
A: This is a full tang machete.  Here is the description from Cold Steel: Made from 1055 Carbon steel and hand sharpened to a vicious point and battle ready edge, the Gladius Machete offers 19" of unprecedented piercing and slashing power at a bargain price. Sporting an extra wide, full tang for strength and a classically inspired handle, it offers the standard guard and ball shaped pommel of years gone by.
