Combat Commander Thai Gladius Sword and Scabbard with Shoulder Harness-1065 Carbon Steel Blade, Penetrating Point, Hard-Coat Finish, Nylon Fiber Handle-Designed for Today's Warrior-Length 40"

It is a well crafted, strong and sturdy tool. Cuts vines and thin branches as well as human gel targets. The blade can be removed and the tang is long enough for a 1 handed sword grip. For the price, it is rather good. I must amend my previous review and say that despite being a thin blade it can still take quite a beating. It will bend like any blade if you are foolish and put too much pressure on it sideways but if used correctly it will function beautifully. A fine instrument. (do not throw it.)

this is my dream weapon in smaller scale. I had been waiting to buy this for years after it fell off the market. it is great, pretty sharp, but not a razor. I cut the box, when I got the edge alignment correct it blew through. I took it apart and its Tang is long enough for a 1 handed sword (gladius).

I ordered this because the advertisement clearly stated that it was a battle ready blade. If you are battling cardboard boxes, or plastic bottles, then sure it's battle ready. For the purpose of actual fighting (which of course no one really does), it would be very inadequate. The blade is 1065 high carbon steel so it will take a good sharp edge, but its thickness is about that of a typical machete, not a sword. The handle seams quite resilient if a bit uncomfortable, and the pins that hold the tang in place also seam adequate, and could even be taken out if you wanted or needed to replace them. That said their is a strange little protrusion on the handle below where the blade-ward hand would grip. It serves no purpose on this blade, and just gets in the way. This handle shape is the same that is on another long handled weapon this company makes and that is a single edged blade, which would tell me that the protrusion is meant to assist in indexing the blade. This blade however is double edged, there is no front or back of the blade, and therefore the protrusion is useless here. So if you want a cool looking long handled blade that you can use for form work and light cutting, or even to wear with a costume or hang on a wall, then this should suit you beautifully, and the price is quite reasonable. However if you are looking for a real sword, that you could rely upon should the world descend into chaos or the dead begin to walk, then you should move on and defiantly be prepared to spend quite a lot more. Overall I am happy with this purchase, because I knew what I was getting despite what the advertisements claimed, and have no complaints with the service or speed of delivery.

I got this as a birthday gift for my partner and she absolutely loves it. I also got her a short sword, but this is better because it allows her to use a two handed grip and provides more reach. She is definitely feeling her inner Dora Milaje. If I were to end up fighting a grizzily bear (which have no intention of ever doing) I would prefer to have this in hand than a short sword or a knife. My male ego is in check.

a hybrid between a spear and a gladius, Is sharp enough to cut bottles and is sturdy enough, however the grip is not very handy so if your hands get sweaty it could be hard to grip, I easily fixed this minor problem by wrapping it with hockey tape. Also be careful how you prop the blade on the floor, as it actually managed to poke a hole through my sheath,would recommend you prop it with the handle touching the floor, not the blade, otherwise its a great piece and feels light and quick in the hands

So I'm going to say this now, when I bought this I didn't expect a whole lot. We're talking a good amount of material for a rather minuscule price. The blade steel is 1065 so a good choice for an outdoor beater but it does require maintenance, the handle is a sort of abs plastic, very very tough. I've thrown this like a spear, split wood ( pine and oak ), cut down brush, small and large. It gets the job done! I did bend the tip while throwing but expected it, I was able to heat it up and bend it back. I believe I have truly tested this in harsh conditions and its held up amazing! It also makes for a decent chair backrest, and it even works as a canoe paddle if your in a pinch👌

The sword is everything I could have asked for at the price point. The only reason for the -1 star is the sheath is much worse than I expected. I broke the sheaths buckle strap within 5 minutes of careful use. This will make a great bedside piece nonetheless but I’ll have to really plan ahead before I travel with it

I love! mine came with sharp blade has just enough bend in it & its not alot of which i like , this is definitely a piercing tool like a spear or even elongated sword which to me makes it better cause you can put 5x more power behind your slashes

Top alles super.

Artikel sehr gut nur kostet der in echt nicht über 60.- also wird hier zu überteuren Preis angeboten glaube die kaufen das selber bei billigeren VERKÄUFER um es dann über Preis zu verkaufen

Preis Leistung spricht für das Produkt. Ein Stern Abzug, weil es an einer Schraube leicht wackelt.

gute Qualität

Der Thai Gladius sieht gut aus und der lange Griff erlaubt ein festes Zupacken. Beim genauen Hinsehen zeigt sich allerdings deutlich, dass die Klinge zumindest bei meinem Exemplar nicht hundertprozentig geradesteht. Der kleine Schriftzug am Klingenansatz verläuft nicht ganz parallel zur Griffkante. Die Seiten der Klinge in dem Bereich zeigen das gleiche. Das beweist, dass die Klinge nicht bis in den Griff hineinreicht, was unverzeihlich ist. Auch wenn man mit dem Ding wohl niemals Holz hacken oder kämpfen wird, es hat gefälligst von anständiger Qualität zu sein. Der Preis von 80 Euro ist doppelt so hoch, wie bei anderen Macheten und angesichts der enttäuschenden Qualität durchaus frech.
