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-Ex sheath and belt loop for easy of carry and use.
Very nicely balanced. I own several cold steel products and this one is probably my favorite short sword / machete type blade. I’m not much on cold steel handle material so I always do a little modifying on this one all I did was wrap it with sports wrap to cushion and make the grip much better especially once you work up a sweat and the handles get wet. Great blade great price.

Very impressive machete but more like a sword. Fairly Sharp out of the box and can cut paper. Point is very sharp. Very strong and well-made. Has a wide grip that really sticks to your hand. I bought this for a self-defense weapon and I really like it so far

Supremely balanced. Wicked sharp out of the box. Looks okay in all black, but I’m not hung up of looks. Works beautifully.
