Recalling stirring tales of the famous outlaw and his band of "Merry Men" and their battles with the forces of the Sheriff of Nottingham, Gladius' Robin Hood sword is a powerful hand and a half design from the days when the sword was law. Gladius Medieval style swords have 440C stainless steel blades, which are fully tempered, but they are primarily intended for use as collectibles and decorator pieces, generally with eye-catching detailing.
