Features: Black traction coated dagger blade made from 1095. Tan canvas micarta handle for grip. Black kydex sheath and leather dangler. Description: This is the Modern Gladius which is like the Roman weapon, but shorter. It shows tribute to the knife it was created after while accommodating it for today's usage. This design, with its double-edged tanto-like blade, would be used in battle for stabbing and slashing. Now a days, this is the tool for camping, for example. Use it while you are building a fire or cooking up some delicious campfire food. The blade has a guard that protects your fingers and hands from the blade. If you are looking for your next outdoor knife, this is the one for you! Check out more TOPS Knives at Blade HQ!
