One of Gladius' most popular swords, the Barbarian sword is a massive double-edged fantasy sword with dragon head guards and engraved serpent designs, recalling death-defying battles with the forces of evil. The pommel hides a dagger, for the ultimate advantage. 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.
