The Roman Gladius was the sword that built the fabulous Roman Empire, earning its reputation in the hands of Legionnaires on the battlefield and Gladiators in the arena. Short and double-edged, the Gladius was unmatched in the close-quarters combat for which the Romans were renowned. These letter openers from CAS Hanwei are the perfect functional accent to any home or office decor. Crafted in steel with a distinctive antiqued patina, each piece is a small version of one of our full-sized swords and represents a style unique to its own time in history. Each is provided with its own stand and is packaged with a card detailing its origins.
